Unable to get the library working on ubuntu

[Era-Dorta]

Hello, I installed chingu trought gem install chingu, and used it without a problem. But then I decided to download the code and when I do the "require", I get the following errors:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in gem_original_require': /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu/gosu_ext/sample.rb:41: odd number list for Hash (SyntaxError) volume: DEFAULT_VOLUME, ^ /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu/gosu_ext/sample.rb:41: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '}' volume: DEFAULT_VOLUME, ^ /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu/gosu_ext/sample.rb:41: dynamic constant assignment from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:inrequire' from /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu/require_all.rb:91:in require_all' from /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu/require_all.rb:89:ineach' from /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu/require_all.rb:89:in `require_all' from /home/garoe/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/chingu/lib/chingu.rb:38

I'm working with ruby 1.8.7 on ubuntu 11.04 64 bits. Any help is apreciated :-)

Have you tried with Ruby 1.9? no real reason to run old slow 1.8 anymore :)

[Era-Dorta]

I had issues with rvm and qt on 1.9, so that is why I use 1.8

[ippa]

I see... hm. I haven't used 1.8 in ages so I'm not testing chingu against it. The errors looks like it's due to 1.9s new hash-format. I would try again to get 1.9 running.. chingu is developed on it and it really makes sense having that speed-boost when making a game.

[Era-Dorta]

Ok, thaks for the instant reponse, I am trully amazed. I'll retry ruby 1.9 to see if this time I am luckier

I succed instaling 1.9.2 and got everything working, but then another problem appears, songs make everything crash, apparently due to the new muted seccion.

good work with the 1.9! .. I'll try to take a look at this tomorrow. you did install chingu with "gem install chingu --pre"? if not, try that.

[Era-Dorta]

In fact I did a double instalation, one with gems and another directly from git so I could play with the code, the error I got comes from git's code. Anyway using "gem install chingu --pre" does work with the sound, and let's me play around on second but then It crashes T.T : :~$ ruby /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/examples/game1.rb /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/animation.rb:75:in load_tiles': Unknown error (RuntimeError) from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/animation.rb:75:ininitialize' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/examples/game1.rb:276:in new' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/examples/game1.rb:276:insetup' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/basic_game_object.rb:87:in initialize' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/basic_game_object.rb:100:innew' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/basic_game_object.rb:100:in create' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/examples/game1.rb:103:inupdate' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/game_state_manager.rb:280:in update' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/window.rb:144:inintermediate_update' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/lib/chingu/window.rb:112:in update' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/chingu-0.9rc7/examples/game1.rb:386:in

Fixed in https://github.com/ippa/chingu/commit/0271b2431e169fa4d937016253f38efd57732237

I couldn't push a new gem now cause rubygems.org gives me an odd 500 internal server error. I'll try again soonish. In the meantime, the github source is fixed so feel free to build your own gem from it.

[jlnr]

Great to see you push out chingu's HEAD as gem again. :)

And incidentally I am getting weird server errors today too.

[ippa]

Hi Julian! ;) ... gem push seems to work now btw, so a fixed rc8 should be out. "gem install chingu --pre"

[jlnr]

I still get "413 Request Entity Too Large" when pushing Gosu for Mac, so I cannot even install chingu because it depends on Gosu 0.7.43. :D Let's see when the rubygems guys show up on IRC.
