Have you used git to do configuration management on your own code?
Have you used git to clone a copy of the paperclip plugin? Do you
have a local ~/.git directory or a ~/.gitconfig file?
My supposition was that you have some local (test or learn) work that
is somehow interfering with your script/plugin install call. You
shouldn't need to "port uninstall git ; port install git" to get
things working.
Just to give you a frame of reference I'm working on Mac OS X 10.5.7,
PPC G4.
ruby --version == ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 173) [powerpc-
darwin9.7.0]
rails --version == 2.3.3
git --version == git version 1.6.1.2
To get some additional information you can use the command:
script/plugin --verbose install git://github.com/thoughtbot/paperclip.git
You can also view the rails source in:
lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.3/lib/commands/plugins.rb
Look for:
def install_using_git(options = {})
In this function the line "install_path = mkdir_p ..." has trouble
when run in ruby 1.9 - thus my initial question.
