Ruby/Rails/Gem Version docs #50

Closed tmcw closed 9 years ago

tmcw commented 13 years ago

Hey Jeff,

Trying to get set up and I'm a little bewildered by the various ruby/rails version mismatches and gem install errors I'm getting. So far I've tried ruby 1.9.1, 1.8.7, rails 2.3.11 and 2.3.12, and various other things, mainly with rvm managing versions.

The usual error is the inability to build geohash - https://gist.github.com/1236004 With ruby 1.8.7 and rubygems 1.8.10, I get an unending string of uninstalled stuff (RDoc, json/add/rails, etc).

Sorry, fallen entirely out of sync with understanding ruby versioning and such!

yeah it's a pain. i could vendor the gems? I have been using 2.3.11, but have also run it on 2.3.5 and a few others. Are you on ubuntu or osx? Ubuntu has been pretty painless but i admit i haven't tried running it on a mac for quite some time.

Are you using ruby 1.8.7? Turns out geohash was updated for 1.9.1, but nobody ever packaged that version - I've gone back to 1.8.7, and everything's working halfway except for needing to manually install image_science, comment out the include of json/add/rails in environment.rb, and now after manually gem install inline'ing to make image_science work, it doesn't work.

-- addendum: ah, it's gem install RubyInline. Now to install FreeImage.

-- addendum: works! server running. But mysql gem is missing, so 502s. Installing mysql

-- addendum: a page! now to install mysql, and rake db:migrate

-- addendum: where's the recaptcha public key configured? Seems an environment variable! export RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY=6LegacgSAAAAAAtl8QqW_dbSOKBI0uaH1oDgUN8T and I'm golden, seeing the home page.

(not posting these as usual gripes, rather queueing for writing docs when I get a moment)

Config/initializers/recaptcha.RB,

I should have done better docs but I didn't really expect many folks to want local copies. But now people are asking about USB key bitnami local versions so I'm thinking of making a bitnami branch. On Sep 22, 2011 5:50 PM, "Tom MacWright" < reply@reply.github.com> wrote:

Yes, 1.8.7. Im old fashioned. I could swap for a more recent geocoding gem, ideas? On Sep 22, 2011 5:50 PM, "Tom MacWright" < reply@reply.github.com> wrote:

Looks like the geohash gem, at least, is deadpool, with a version on GitHub that isn't published as a gem anywhere, and not much movement. I'll just roll with this as-is currently - just setting it up to do a bit of quick development - seeing whether MBTiles export wouldn't be too hard to code up.

jywarren commented 13 years ago

Ok minimum vendoring the geohash gem would be useful it seems. I imagine its pure Ruby, no? On Sep 22, 2011 6:07 PM, "Tom MacWright" < reply@reply.github.com> wrote:

RubyInline had been causing me trouble, ug.

thanks Tom!

also, i think mbtiles won't be hard to add... app/models/map.rb is very messy (code sprint) but it does each export in order and adding another plus some interface code shouldn't be a huge pain.

jywarren commented 13 years ago

tell me if you have any more success -- we might just want to pull geohash entirely.

tmcw commented 13 years ago

Yeah, looks like the TMS export is powered by gdal2tiles.py behind the scenes? I wonder if raster2mb should've been written as an inline to that instead of as a separate tool. Anyway, I'll hopefully get enough time to test and such, and probably make some much-needed bugfixes in my code. Oh, and officemates were pretty blown away by the hand-affine-transforming stuff.

jywarren commented 13 years ago

see #52 for bitnami local version... i had a request from someone in Jakarta for this so i'm escalating it.

tmcw commented 13 years ago

What's your rubygems version? OSX ships with 1.8.5, which fails to install GeoRuby; updating to 1.8.11 or downgrading to 1.3.* installs GeoRuby but then fails to run: https://gist.github.com/1297409

It also looks like 'GeoRuby' is about two years out of date and there's a 'nofxx-georuby' that's updated?
