[wtr-general] Re: Error in installation of gem

2010-01-18 Thread aek82
After reading through these posts, I have to say the easiest way to
get WATIR running is by doing the following:

1. Install Ruby via the One Click installer [1.8.??] via
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/. After installation go to
prompt and type 'gem update --system'.
2. If you get the error message above [ 'ERROR:  While executing
gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find watir ( 0) in any repository ' ], you need to
update your gem package manager to the latest version. Go to
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 and download the latest
version. You can compare your version number by typing 'gem -v' in
command prompt.
3. Unzip the latest gem package manager, open a command prompt in the
directory you extracted to and execute the command 'ruby setup.rb'
4. Now try running 'gem update --system'. It should work. If it
doesn't, then bullocks! If it does, run 'gem install watir'.

'Should' work now. Note, I updated this thread because this is what
comes up in Google's search.

  I All,

  Here is the solution for Ruby Installation  Updating the Gems.

  Pls read this article for more info
 http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=35591

  Steps:

 - Find the New Ruby Installer 186-27_rc2.exe. in
 http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167
 - Install the same (run the command ruby -v some times it throws
 error in that case uninstall  install again).
 - Run gem update (earlier gem update --system doesn't work).
 - Run gem install watir.

 Done.

 This will start running Watir   :)

 Thanks to Shivananda  gemcutter google group for all the help they
 extended.

 Cheers,
 Chethan

If you don't wish to completely reinstall ruby, a much easier thing to
do is manually install rubygems 1.3.5 from a zip file:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
This will fix the problem.

 Just a thought... I had a similar issue. And on another thread I
 learned that the problem turned out to be the fact that I was behind a
 corporate firewall. When I took laptop home I was able to update the
 gems.

That's an entirely separate issue.
