has anyone successfully installed dbdbd? this program has just the right level of simplicity and
power for what i want to do (manage a small to medium-sized flat file database).
i have downloaded and unzipped it onto my single-user machine and when i try and install it using
"ruby install.rb" as root (as per the documentation included with the program) i get the following
error message :
install.rb:10: undefined method ‘+’ for nil (Name Error)
line 10 in install.rb looks like this :
dest = Config::CONFIG[“sitelibdir”] + File::SEPARATOR + source
am i missing a library i need in order to install this program? or is it something else that is so
obvious that i’m not seeing it?
1.6.2? Really? It’s possible that such an old version of Ruby didn’t
define the ‘sitelibdir’ entry. I’d try upgrading to 1.8.1 and then
installing dbdbd.

I also have tried installing dbdbd and I am running ruby 1.8.0
Using insert I get the following
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbdbd.rb:113: warning: Object#type is deprecated;
use Object#class
I also get undefined methods ‘fields’

Ugh. Let me look into it. It won’t be immediately though… but can
you send me some sample non-working code?

I’ve now looked at it and, I hope, massaged things back to working
order. Let me know if otherwise. I’ve put version 0.2.2 up on RAA,
or you can go straight to http://knossos.shu.edu/dblack/dbdbd.
