When attempting to run local dev environ, getting Mongrel missing error
  • I'm attempting to run vae from the command line for the local dev environment in Ubuntu 12.04. I have ruby 1.8 install and have install mongrel 1.1.5. However when I run vae, I get the following error:

    /usr/local/vae/vae_local/lib/vae.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- mongrel (LoadError)
    from /usr/local/vae/vae_local/lib/vae.rb:3
    from /usr/local/bin/vae:7:in `require'
    from /usr/local/bin/vae:7

    The output of gem list --local is this:

    cgi_multipart_eof_fix (2.5.0)
    daemons (1.1.8, 1.0.10)
    fastthread (1.0.7)
    gem_plugin (0.2.3)
    mongrel (1.1.5)

    Why is vae unable to find mongrel?

  • Most likely explanation is that Vae is using the wrong Ruby. Do you have RVM or Rbenv installed?

  • I don't have RVM or Rbenv installed as far as I know. I only have one version of ruby installed also (1.8). I also tried using 1.9 with mongrel 2, but I got the same error.

  • I'd encourage you to take this over to support so we can try some more back-and-forths. Just email [email protected].

  • Vae needs Ruby v1.8.7 to run, it is not forward compatible yet.

Howdy, Stranger!
