General :: Ruby / Gem Installation Paths Scattered All Over
Apr 11, 2011
Trying to understand my ruby folder structure? Why my gems are scattered all over and why they aren't recognised commands. I'll explain how my installation looks like first:
/usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby1.8
/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
The first is a soft link to ruby1.9.1 because the "ruby" command didn't work in the terminal. I did the same with "gem". I installed rubygems through downloading, extracting and then running setup.rb here: (I created the "ruby" folder)
/home/pc/ruby/rubygems-1.7.2/setup.rb
/usr/bin/gem
/usr/bin/gem1.8
/usr/bin/gem1.9.1
I installed a few gems with "sudo gem install"
> gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
compass (0.10.6)
haml (3.0.25)
mustache (0.99.3)
rake (0.8.7)
So far so good? Well not quite, as it turns out the command "compass version" doesn't seem to exist. My confusion grows with each folder I look into. The following path doesn't make any sense to me, for example. Why would it be hidden? Why is mustache the only gem inside this folder?
/home/pc/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/cache/mustache-0.99.3.gem
First of all, here is "gem environment", which makes even less sense, because I have definately installed rubygems-1.7.2 like I told you in the first paragraph, but here it shows an ancient version 1.3.7. Why? I installed Ubuntu the day before yesterday.
RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7
- RUBY VERSION: 1.9.2 (2010-08-18 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-linux]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.9.1
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
- EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: .....
Ruby --version returns "ruby 1.8.7"...........
Also, as it turns out, all gems are installed into this folder (mustache too! even though it already is inside the other folder), just as "ruby environment" claims:
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems. But none of these gems work. I can't call any of these, except rake. So here is where I probably made the mistake, I think I used "apt-get install rake" in addition to "gem install rake", because the command "rake" wasn't recognised, and the command prompt suggested it. I may have done so with rubygems too... I'm new to Linux, and I figured that the command prompt knew how to install this stuff properly. It can't be normal that I have to create syslinks all over, right? In Windows I didn't run into this problem.

I've been using rubyripper quite happily on Karmic, now I've moved to Lucid and discovered a bit of an issue. rubyripper will pause for several minutes between tracks with ruby 1.8. If I upgrade to ruby 1.9.1 the gui client won't run due to an issue with libgtk2-ruby not being available for 1.9.1.
The cli version of rubyripper under 1.9.1 is blazingly fast, so that is what I'm using at the moment, but I do prefer the gui.
Anyone have any insight into this? Googling suggests there may be a bug in ruby 1.8.7 that caused the long pauses, but it was supposed to have been fixed in 1.8.7.249 i.e. the default Lucid version.

There are a few things not working properly. Ruby version manager seems ok but untill i get working with ruby i don't know if it is working properly. One thing that is not there is irb Interactive ruby is not available according the the message i get.
Well i have no idea what readline is but i did everything that is on that webpage referance page [url]. I have got a lot of progress and learned heaps about linux shell and bash terminal. The thing is i need to get this going and have tried feenode but it is very foreign and how it works i do not have a clue. I have got 2 things resolved so far through this forum but using other threads in it. i need to get irb going before i can progress to using ruby on Rails properly.
I am using a Eeepc running ubuntu easy peasy its version 9.04 of ubuntu. I need the whole of rails to work and want to get a handle on using ruby version manager along with the apache stack with mysql/phpmyadmin and am using this as a dummy run for setting up a development system.

I'm trying to install ruby on rails on Ubuntu 9.10. I'm following the instructions on this site:
http://castilho.biz/blog/2009/11/05/...-karmic-koala/
However, when I try to install Rails I get an error code...
It seems like gem can't access http://gems.rubyforge.org/gems/rake-0.8.7.gem for some reason, but when I try to go directly to that address I get the option to download it. Any ideas how to get around this problem?
I'm thinking if I can somehow tell gem to look for the file locally I can download it and install rails that way.

I have not been on in about a month or 2. I have no idea how to list this thread. I am hoping that someone like tex can help out. Being lazy with ubuntu seems to have been badong. Ok, I had 2 physical machines and 3 vms. VM's ran under Vbox-ose via a bridge. OS's are buntu x2 and one centOS box. I installed webmin to make things easy ( i thought ).However, after setting webmin, my I have been randomly loosing PATH's. I mean, one minuet i can run sudo apt-get and the next the whole PATH is gone. I tried a compare of my "home" box's bashrc and bash_profile against the other machins, and outside of some alias for colr and the like nothing seems to stand out. Even if I su - to root I am not getting access to the needed paths. Now, while I could export the correct path, I am more conserned with the why of it all.
I would have thought that as long as my group setting on my ssh users were all correct AND the environment had not been changed, all would be good. I can provide more info if someone wants to help me out with this. HOwever, it drove me to a six pack. 8SI have read the man pages. I have used google. I have checked the logs. The logs by the way showed a lil hammering on one of the boxes for root access. [I]t wasnt me. However, I dont seem to be able to see a time stamp.

Is there some sort of standards file path convention for installing softwares that I could follow through? For example, I just learnt how to build Nginx from source. But the default binary path set by nginx is "/usr/local/nginx/sbin". I have seen a couple of tutorials which they specify the location of the installed binary and it is very different from those usual default paths. Thus, got me thinking whether is there some form of file path convention that I should follow?Is there some kind of list which states where do those packages on Debian.org Repository usually installed to?

(Using Archlinux) I downloaded Ruby 1.8.7-174 a while ago and installed it via the tarball (not pacman). I was trying to update to 1.8.7-299, but I can't get it to work. Per the readme, I do the following steps, all of which complete without error:
./configure
make
make install
After install finishes however, I still have -174 installed instead of -299.

I've got a script to recursively create symlinks in my home directory to my settings directory, to keep the files under version control. I would like it to skip files which are already symlinked via a parent directory. That is, if I have these files/directories:
~/foo/ -> ~/settings/foo/
~/settings/foo/
~/settings/foo/bar
, how do I check that ~/foo/bar and ~/settings/foo/bar are the same file?
Edit: D'oh, another few minutes of searching revealed the answer: readlink -f $path

When I asked about filesystems with compression I got recommendation to try ZFS. Looks like it worth trying, however I find tools that manage ZFS (zfs, zpool) quite overcomplexified - you need to create some volume, then add it, then create filesystem on it. And finally it suddenly created things in root directory like /qqq/test and it uses /var/run/zfs/zfs_socket (strange for a filesystem).
How to use ZFS (with FUSE) without it's complicated things with volumes, just as good filesystem with compression, something like mount -o loop image.zfs /mnt/qqq -t zfs-fuse?
How to setup ZFS as non-root? FUSE usually means "user can use it too" (example: ntfs-3g). I expect something like this:
Can ZFS be more usual FUSE filesystem that I can add to /etc/fstab and user can install and use on its own?

I want to print, using locate, all the paths that contain the element /bin/ but only one instance of each one. If I issue 'locate /bin/' then I have many screens of text with, for example,
/usr/bin/foo1
/usr/bin/foo2
/home/me/bin/foo3
whereas I want to see only
/usr/bin/foo1
/home/bin/foo3
That is to say, if in two lines /bin/ appears with the same prefix (in the example above the prefixes would be /usr and /home/me) I only want to print the first line. Can I pipe locate to grep to do this? I've mentioned locate because it does not scan the whole disk.

I have written a script which reads a text file and takes out absolute and relative paths embedded in the text file.Then the script looks for a string in some text files mentioned in those paths. The problem I am facing is that since these paths are from my working directory,if I try to run the script from a different directory the paths are not read.

I am using Red Hat Enterprise Version 5. There is a ruby program which use standard input as its input (e.g. the Ruby program process input from standard input). I think standard input should be keyboard, correct?
So, I think other kinds of input (non-standard input) should not work (i.e. the ruby program should not be able to read input from such non-standard input), but actually I have tried using pipe works, I am so confused because I think pipe should be some other kinds of input -- other than standard input, why it could work? i.e. put text "123" in abc.txt with pipe, could achieve the same result as using keyboard as input to type "123" for the ruby program.
cat abc.txt | ~/test/rubysrc/foo.rb

The Linux File system uses the file path notation to abstract how data is accessed. Path really must be an environmental variable for the applcication that converts the path name to an inode so what is this application/Daemons name?

We have two paths. First one is directory, second either dir or file.
/a/b/c and /a/d/e.txt
Relative path from first path to second will be: ../../d/e.txt
How to get it in linux terminal?
PS: For those who ask "what is use case?" - creating lots of relative symlinks (just as an example)

I mostly do .Net development in a Windows 7 virtualbox. I use the host for simple things such as web browsing, skype, chat, etc. All things that are fantastically available on Ubuntu which I in many ways prefer. So this has been begging the question for a while: why even use Windows on the host, seems like a Linux host would use less resources (untested) and allow my Windows VMs to run better while allowing me to do my non-development stuff in an interface I prefer.
So easiest way to do this - I downloaded wubi and installed Ubuntu. I installed in it Virtualbox, and then start add and start my VM to get this message: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine VS2010, Could not open the medium '/host/Users/George Mauer/Virtualbox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi; VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file '/host/Users/George Mauer/Virtualbox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi; (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
You see what's going on? With wubi, the windows drive gets mounted at /host/ but virtualbox is for some reason appending an absolute path! I would very much like to use the same exact VM file since it would retain Snapshots and I would be able to use it in either windows or Ubuntu mode. However, even if I try to simply mount the drives into a new VM I get an error: Failed to open the hard disk /host/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi. Cannot register the hard disk '/host/Users/George Mauer/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi' {guid...} because a hard disk '/host/Users/George Mauer/VirtualBox VMs/VS2010/C:/Users/George Mauer.VirtualBox/HardDisks/VS2010.vdi with UUID {guid...} already exists.
This is especially odd since this worked fine with my recently created Android VM, though this might have something to do with the fact that VirtualBox recently changed their default VM storage locations. Any idea how to fix this? My Linux-fu is weak but I seem to remember from CS class something about symbolic links that might be relevant here?

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...

The shell is bash.
The directory path, /this/is/directory/aa, is actually linked to the path /this/is/link/aa.
So when I cd to the aa directory I am in /this/is/link/aa and there is no /this/is/link/bb hence the error with ls.
My question is how does cd understand relative paths and not return an error the way ls does?

I've mapped each (HBA Initiator) 4 times to seperate fibre channel ports on a storage array.Is there a RH command to see the device mapped 4 times to the target.

Adobe Reader ain't available for 64-bit so I'm stuck with XPDF (or Okular, which is better than XPDF) and most stuff won't print worth a hoot. I've been reading the manual pages and somewhere or other I'm missing some thing about adding font paths (or replacing the default font paths). I have the complete Adobe Type Library plus TTF's installed in /usr/local/share/fonts (and they work just fine with OpenOffice.org) but I can't seem to figure out how to get them or the Slackware-provided fonts available to XPDF.
