Hi,
According to its release notes, Rails 2.3.2 should run fine on Ruby 1.9.1. Since I've read about substantial performance gains from 1.9, I decided to upgrade.
I built and installed Ruby 1.9.1-p129 on my server (Ubuntu 9.04, amd64 CPU) without any problems. Similarly, I was able to install Rails 2.3.2 via "gem" without any problems.
Unfortunately, Rails itself fails to function. Running the "rails" script fails with the following error:
<internal:gem_prelude>:234:in `push_gem_version_on_load_path': Could not find RubyGem activesupport (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError)
And trying to require one of the component gems also fails, as follows:
irb(main):001:0> require "activerecord" LoadError: no such file to load -- i18n/backend/simple from /opt/ruby-1.9.1-p129/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/i18n_interpolation_deprecation.rb: 5:in `require'
Installing the "i18n" gem merely causes further problems, as follows:
irb(main):001:0> require 'activerecord' NoMethodError: undefined method `alias_method_chain' for I18n::Backend::Simple:Class from /opt/ruby-1.9.1-p129/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ activerecord-2.3.2/lib/active_record/i18n_interpolation_deprecation.rb: 23:in `<class:Simple>'
What follows is a list of the installed gems on my system:
[zhaytee@orzhova] ~$ gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** actionmailer (2.3.2) actionpack (2.3.2) activerecord (2.3.2) activeresource (2.3.2) activesupport (2.3.2) fastthread (1.0.7) i18n (0.1.0) passenger (2.2.2) pg (0.8.0) rails (2.3.2) rake (0.8.4)
Is Rails 2.3.2 simply not compatible with 1.9.1, despite what the release notes say? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
