[Rubycocoa-talk] Problem with RubyCocoa install

[Matt M. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get RubyCocoa built on my 10.4.2 PowerBook.  I checked
out the CVS version then did

ruby install.rb config
ruby install.rb setup

both of which seemed okay (except for some stroppy warnings that I
shouldn't be using some header file or other).

In the tests folder I ran

ruby testall.rb

and got the following error:

/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/=
cocoa_macros.rb:68:in
`respond_to?': true is not a symbol (TypeError)
        from /Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/Resources/r=
uby/osx/objc/cocoa_macros.rb:68
        from /Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/Resources/r=
uby/osx/objc/cocoa.rb:13:in
`require'
        from /Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/Resources/r=
uby/osx/objc/cocoa.rb:13
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/osx/cocoa.rb:12:in `require'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/osx/cocoa.rb:12
        from rb_main.rb:5:in `require'
        from rb_main.rb:5

which I don't really understand since line 68 is passing 'guess1' to
respond_to?  I didn't get any hits on a google search.

Can anyone suggest my next step?

Regards,

Matt

Heh - you beat me to posting about this. After mentioning CVS  
yesterday I realised that I'd had to make the patch below.

The line in question, from:

/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ruby/osx/ 
objc/cocoa_macros.rb:68

looks like this:

     if NKF.respond_to? 'guess1' && NKF::NKF_VERSION == "2.0.4"

which gets parsed as:

     if NKF.respond_to?('guess1' && NKF::NKF_VERSION == "2.0.4")

since NKF::NKF_VERSION is "2.0.4", the argument evaluates to 'true'.

Change the line to:

     if NKF.respond_to?('guess1') && NKF::NKF_VERSION == "2.0.4"
or
     if NKF.respond_to? 'guess1' and NKF::NKF_VERSION == "2.0.4"

Hi,

I merged your fix to CVS. Now, the tests will run without any error.
Thanks!
