Missing gem net-ssh.

[dclozier]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and all seems to install without error. When I try and run gl_tail it quits and informs me I need to install net-ssh with:
sudo gem install -y net-ssh -r

I've done that a few times and it installs each time but still no such luck running gl_tail.

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 9.10. Any thoughts?

[mklebel]

Had the very same issue, solved by doing this:

sudo gem uninstall net-ssh

then do: sudo gem install net-ssh -v 1.1.4

mklebel's solution does not work for me. net-ssh installs well but, either with net-ssh 1.1 or 2.1 (Debian "lenny"), glTail crashes:

% ./bin/gl_tail config.yaml
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in gem_original_require': no such file to load -- net/ssh/gateway (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:inrequire'

Could you try installing rvm and managing the gems that way?

[bortzmeyer]

Fudge: I'm not a rubyist and I hesitate to install a lot of complicated Ruby-specifc things just to test a program.

[Fudge]

sudo gem install rvm
rvm-install
rvm install 1.9.1
rvm 1.9.1

gem install <glTail dependencies>

When you're done, remove the rvm line from .bashrc,
rm -rf ~/.rvm
sudo gem uninstall rvm

and you should be pretty much back to where you were.

[bortzmeyer]

gem install rvm apparently went fine but that's all:

% rvm-install
zsh: command not found: rvm-install

[Fudge]

Gah.... Sorry then.

What OS/distribution is this on? Rubygems under Debian derivates is notoriously difficult to get running correctly.

[idk]

running ubuntu 10.04 here, finally got it working, had same problems as above.

having a list of gems installed and paths helped:
sudo gem list -d --local

1st i uninstalled other versions of net-ssh: (like mentioned above)
sudo gem uninstall net-ssh

then installed net-ssh 1.1.4:
sudo gem install -y net-ssh -v 1.1.4 -r

then i wound up having to install libopenssl-ruby1.8, used synaptic package manager for that :P

which helped! :D but wasn't enough.

once i did this last command though, all was working, thanks for the code Fudge!

sudo gem install net-ssh-gateway

hope it helps others

[SignalWhisperer]

After installing everything mentioned by the application, I fixed it by only doing
sudo gem install net-ssh-gateway

I didn't use any specific version for anything, all the latest.
