xmlsimple warning

Hi All,

Anyone know how to fix the below warnings which I get when I run most if not all of the ./script executables, some googling reveals the odd mention of it but I haven't seen a good fix for it.

It's not causing any functional issues for me (so far), just damn annoying..

Thanks, Stephen

I am also newbies for rails too. I found an information at http://www.unwin.org/ruby_on_rails/tips/xml_simple_already_initialized_constant_warnings.html

But this is not solve my problem too. I tried to uninstall flickr but it also not solve.

Best try it first.

I found the problem on my system to be slightly different than the one described in the link. The conflict was due to xmlsimple.rb being included as well as lib/ xmlsimple.rb which is nothing more than a link to the original file.

The following script worked for me:

#!/bin/sh

cd /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 if [ -h lib/xmlsimple.rb ] then   mv lib/xmlsimple.rb lib/xmlsimple.rb.old   mv xmlsimple.rb lib/.   cat > xmlsimple.rb <<! require 'lib/xmlsimple.rb' ! else   echo `pwd`/lib/xmlsimple.rb is not a link. Exiting. fi
