FreeBSD install-message file

Joar Jegleim Leave a comment

If you, like me, install gnome2 or any other package in FreeBSD which will pull in a lot of dependencies, you’ll notice that some packages list important messages when installing… When I install gnome2 on my new workstation, I see those messages fly by and don’t get to read the whole message because the pkg_add command is working a lot faster than I can read … pkg_info -D [pkgname] will list the install-message file for [pkgname], and you could list the install-message file for all of your installed packages with for instance: (BASH syntax)

# pkg_info | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs pkg_info -D

Redmine 1.4. upgrade on FreeBSD 8.1 release

I stumbled over a broken Redmine 1.3 install on a server this morning. The installation is broken in 1.3 related to rubytree something something … I’m kind of a noob in FreeBSD,  and even more of a noob  in regard to Ruby on rails applications… today was my first look at anything related to that stuff. I’m uppgrading to Redmine 1.4 since according to maillinglists it should fix the rubytree problem, so I’m following http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineUpgrade?version=53 .

 

rake generate_session_store
an error occured while installing sqlite3 (1.3.6), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.6'` succeeds before bundling.

Your bundle is complete! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

Got it to work in the end, and got a small insight in Rugy on Rails, and gem install stuff .
Gem install help
Note: during Redmine upgrade rake told me I had to do a bundle install –without development test, and I ran into ‘command not found’ which was because the ‘bundle’ command was a Ruby gem, and those gem’s wasn’t in my path, I had to locate the ‘bundle’ gem, and call it with an absolute path (or fix my PATH variable) .

Btw: they say that “UNIX Is User Friendly. It’s Just Selective About Who Its Friends Are.”, I have a feeling Unix hasn’t selected me yet …
