Installation Issues
Reported by aetherical | July 9th, 2008 @ 03:35 PM
I'm running into numerous gem inconsistencies and errors while installing (following the getting started guide). Is there a set of "approved" gems which are known to work?
I have the following gems:
merb -> 0.9.3;
datamapper -> 0.3.2;
merb_datamapper -> 0.9.2
My current errors are at: http://pastie.org/230920
Thanks,
Matt

Hey,
Thanks for the ticket. You'll need to be using DataMapper 0.9 with the latest Feather code, we recently upgraded it to work with DM 0.9 and not the older DM 0.3.
Retry it with DM 0.9, and if you have any issues just open a new ticket, or drop into IRC (#feather on irc.freenode.net) and someone will be happy to help you out!
Thanks,
El

One issue with the installation guide, however -- it says to use gem to install datamapper, et al.
However, 0.9 is not available as a gem:
$ gem search --remote datamapper
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
Updating metadata for 5 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org/
.....
complete
datamapper (0.3.2)
merb_datamapper (0.9.2)
So the installation guide should probably be updated.

You've got to add http://gems.datamapper.org as a gem source.

Ok, that's the bit missing from the getting started document.....
Thanks!
