Emacs 24 , inf-ruby mystery

[ericarnal]

I've installed everything via elpa and it works great... Until I restart emacs and have a "Emacs 24: Cannot open load file, inf-ruby"

But I noticed that if

• I remove rinari from my init.el
• reload my conf file
• then put again rinari
• M-x load-file .emacs.d/init.el again

It works again. Not a big issue as I almost never close emacs, but what am I missing ?

You say "elpa", but which package repositories are you using? The recent supported packages are in Marmalade and MELPA.

[ericarnal]

Sorry. I'm using Marmalade on emacs 24.3 (9.0) OSX.

And while I've just noticed that while installing I get the messages :

Warning (emacs): Unable to activate package ruby-compilation'. Required packageinf-ruby-2.2.1' is unavailable

[purcell]

That's weird, because inf-ruby 2.2.4 is on Marmalade too, right here: http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/inf-ruby

Maybe the package installation was unsuccessful?

[ericarnal]

inf-ruby was installed but the the problem was that for some reason package.el didn't load dependencies (it used to work fine with Rinari on 23) . I've just added (package-initialize) in my init.el and it works. Thanks for your help and for your work.

@ericarnal Very glad to hear you got it working -- happy hacking!

for some reason package.el didn't load dependencies

This is actually the expected behavior:

[purcell]

Ah, I see -- I'd never encountered that because I've always used package-initialize.

[dgutov]

Me too. I was just recently reminded of it (company-mode/company-mode#5).

I've run in the same issue and I always had (package-initialize) on my init.el

Solution is to run package-refresh-contents
