Irb difficulties

ruby-talk
1

Just updated Ruby from CVS, compiled it, and started up irb.

ted@acacia:bin > irb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.7/irb.rb:54:in start': private methodinitialize’ called for IRB:Module (NoMethodError)
from /usr/local/bin/irb:13

‘ruby’ appears to work just fine, though.

Any pointers appreciated!

ted@acacia:bin > irb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.7/irb.rb:54:in `start': private method
`initialize' called for IRB:Module (NoMethodError)

  * eval.c (rb_add_method): initialize should always be private.

No pointers, just wanted to say I bumped into this today as well. After
I installed it on our server sigh

Until irb’s maintainer makes an official fix to the CVS sources, you can
change line 16 of ruby/lib/irb/init.rb from this:

def IRB.initialize(ap_path)

to this:

def IRB.setup(ap_path)

and then change line 54 of ruby/lib/irb.rb from this:

IRB.initialize(ap_path)

to:

IRB.setup(ap_path)

Hope this helps,

Lyle

  • eval.c (rb_add_method): initialize should always be private.

I will fix this soon.
