I tried to freeze an app only to have it blow up in my face. This one is completely beyond me. My hard drive crashed on me recently, and this is a brand new rails 1.2.1/gem 0.9.1 installation. Worked fine before on 1.1.6/0.9.0, but now, this:
republic:~/work/rakehatesme ron$ rake rails:freeze:gems --trace (in /Users/ron/work/rakehatesme) ** Invoke rails:freeze:gems (first_time) ** Execute rails:freeze:gems Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.2.1 rm -rf vendor/rails mkdir -p vendor/rails cd vendor/rails ERROR: While executing gem ...
