I'm running into some error messages from rails when running "script/
generate controller foo" and am wondering if it's related to package
management, a mismatch between gems and emerge. Do not use gems, use
emerge? The wiki is incorrect?
The gentoo wiki, <http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_RoR>, says to:
emerge -av sqlite3-ruby
gem install sqlite3-ruby
Select sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (ruby) when prompted.
However, that version doesn't appear to be an option for the gem:
arrakis ~ #
arrakis ~ # gem install sqlite3-ruby
Select which gem to install for your platform (i686-linux)
1. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.1 (mswin32)
2. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.1 (ruby)
3. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.0 (mswin32)
4. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.0 (ruby)
5. Skip this gem
6. Cancel installation
> 6
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteInstallationCancelled)

On the other hand, "gem list --local" and eix are consistent and show:
arrakis ~ # eix sqlite3-ruby
[i] dev-ruby/sqlite3-ruby

So, it looks like the version of sqlite3-ruby installed matches the
instructions at the wiki, but the version number doesn't seem to match
what's available through "gem"; and the wiki specifically states to
install the gem.
The error I'm running into may be totally unrelated to this. It seems a
bit odd to me that sqlite3-ruby must be emerged through portage and that
gem must install it as well -- one or the other would seem to be
sufficient.
emerge v gem for rails
