`update_dict!': undefined method `write' for File:Class (NoMethodError)

This looks pretty cool, but I'm getting this error:

bin $ ./flickr-authenticate

    from ./flickr-store:19:in `<main>'

Also, no idea why, maybe you have an idea, but I have to run these as shell scripts (./flickr-store) because even after doing gem install I get bash: flickr-authenticate: command not found.

That's pretty weird, what version of Ruby are you running? Also, make sure your PATH is setup correctly to run and find gem executables.

Actually, no idea how, but the commands are being found in BASH now. Went to bed, woke up, and all of a sudden it can find them.

The errors tho still happen. It still uploads the files, but I get the following:

Desktop $ flickr-store put jake-proj/package.json

It's weird mate, File::write should be inherited by IO (http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/IO.html#method-c-write). Does this happen every time you attempt to run this?

[OscarGodson]

@dekz Yep. Never seen this error before :\

[dekz]

Oh I see it now, you're using 1.9.2 which doesn't seem to have File::write only File#write http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.2/IO.html#method-i-write. It should work if you update to a recent version of Ruby(1.9.3). Or we could refactor that code to open and then write.
