Hello and thanks in advance
I had/have a problem with engines and rake that throws the error: undefined method `last' for {}:Hash This is documented here: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=50179
The fix is to downgrade Rake to version 7.3 (if you want to stay with rails 1.2.3 or 1.2.5 which I need for substruct)
I found this set of instructions that are at the bottom of this page, bit I think it is more for reinstalling gems 1.01 rather than just downgrading Rake.
to downgrade Rake, can I just do this? gem uninstall rake gem install rake ver=0.7.3
I am guessing at the syntax. could someone please give me the correct method(s)
Thanks in advance.
instructions for reinstalling gems 1.01 1.Uninstall the current rails - gem uninstall rails 2. Uninstall the current rake - gem uninstall rake (with out this rails installation was throwing error) 3.clean up - gem clean 4.Down load the gems 1.0.1, unzip it 5.cd to the gems unziped folder 6.install new gem - ruby setup.rb 7. verify - gem -v , should report 1.0.1 8.clean up again - gem clean 9.Install rake - gem install rake , this will install rake 0.8.1 10.install rails - gem install rails thats it...it took some combos for me to figure this out
