I just tried to boot up my app's console and it seems either something
is broken or I've done something wrong?
Here's what I'm doing..
First i cd to my project then run the command 'script/console
development' only to get the following error:
Loading development environment.
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': No such file to
load -- readline (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:218:in `require'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:218:in `load_modules'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:216:in `each'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:216:in `load_modules'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:21:in `setup'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:54:in `start'
from /usr/bin/irb:13
Does anyone know what's going wrong and what could be done to fix it?
My Debian box has this package in Apt:
libreadline-ruby1.8 - Readline interface for Ruby 1.8
The Windows installer seems to include readline by default.

Im on OS X and when I was installing everything, readline was one of the
first.
I tried installing it again, but it seems to make no difference. I think
somethings gone wrong with my install because i also installed lighttpd
which has stopped working also.
I can find anything online about un-installing everything and starting
fresh and Im scarred that it's starting to look like doing a fresh
install of my OS is going to be the only fix..
You may consider installing ruby via fink or compiling from source. That
would give you a new ruby environment to work with, without stressing about
an OS rebuild.

If you have a bit of time you should try and figure out what happened before
you reload in case it happens again.
Sorry, I don't have an apple, so you may have to extrapolate what I do here.
Can you start irb apart from the Rails console? If so, or if you can run
another
Ruby program, try a "puts $LOAD_PATH" and see where Ruby is searching.
Here's how I search for the library in the filesystem on Linux:
lesliev@mel:/usr/lib/ruby$ find -iname readline*
./1.8/i486-linux/readline.so
So Ruby can load /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/readline.so because
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux
is in the $LOAD_PATH
You can see what has actually been loaded with $LOADED_FEATURES - and you
can get a list list of all these useful variables by calling
"global_variables" - which I in
turn found with "private_methods". Gotta love irb!
(or I'm sure you could also read a good Ruby reference)
