Hi Anton,
Hi, and thanks. No, realy, I'm grateful someone finally replied. I
was
getting frustrated. (Still am actually!)
This was my 4th or fifth post about problems with this version of
Typo.
I'd tried upgrading my site first - MISTAKE! - and have a number of
posts about that. Perhaps you'd care to look back over them and
comment
on that content as the experience was a bit different from this
attempt
to install Typo on my laptop

What OS are you running on your laptop. I'm guessing Linux? Which
distribution?
Mandriva 2008.0
I start with
$ sudo gem install typo
and I get
[...]
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for
more
details. You may need configuration options.
What are those details in mkmf.log?
See later
Oh!
Well I do have /usr/lib/mysqlclient ...
# rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
libmysql15-5.0.45-8.2mdv2008.0
Now it happens that is sripped. I don't know why.
Ah, an rpm based distro. Probably you need to install the -dev
package
for libmysql as well.
I really don't like this.
Why should I have to install an application development package just
to
install Typo? Will I have to install a compiler and possibly YACC/LEX
as well.
Please guys, this is a bit of a heavy load.
So I load up gcc etc and it turns out that the error in the log file
is
conftest.c: In function ‘t’:
conftest.c:3: error: ‘mysql_query’ undeclared (first use in this
function)
Is this set of dependencies (on the compiler etc) declared anywhere?
Why do I have to go though this if I only want to use Typo with
sqlite3
So I gave up o that and tried installing from the .tgz
I unpacked ok, and then
[...]
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- rails-installer
(LoadError)
from
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
from ./typo-5.1.2/bin/typo:4
Hmm. So I try
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruby]$ find /usr/lib/ruby /home/anton \
-name 'rails-installer*' -print
which returns nothing.
The typo gem requires 'rails-app-installer', I'm guessing you need to
install that gem.
Is that dependency declared anywhere?
Oh, right, let me guess, if I'd installed with the GEM it would have
dragged that dependency in.
HA-BLOODY-HA-HA
My "other" blog is Wordpress & I didn't have this problem upgrading
that.
Originally preferred Typo to Wordpress, now I'm having my doubts.
I'm really disappointed in this "upgrade". When I started using Typo
two years ago (26/08/06 08:54 PM) I had none of these problems,
neither
on my laptop nor on Dreamhost (once they got Ruby 1.8.4 up). It was
the
slickness and ease of installation & configuration that impressed me
back them.
PostScript:
I just installed 'libmysql-devel' using urpmi, the normal and
recommended method, and 'gem install typo' still fails.
I seriously think you need to reconsider what it takes for an ordinary
non-development user to install Typo.
Regards,
Matijs.
Hello,
first, sorry for not replying faster, I was in holliday and got
internet access only tonight. Trying to answer the pile of mails
that's waiting for me.
This is not a Typo but rails issue: to use a Rails application, you
need a database driver, ie ruby mysql driver. That's the reason why
you needed so much dependencies. In an ideal world, your distro would
embed a package named ruby-mysql with the proper driver, or anything
else. The problem is Rails gem has its own dependencies system which
differs from RPM and you won't register Typo MySQL gem with rpm and
the contrary.
I've actually tried to reduce the number of dependencies in the last
releases, removing some of them as much as I could.
Cheers,
Frédéric
