Hello, I just rebuilt my Mac, with Ruby. I'm getting these what I think are very primitive errors when I try to run one of my scripts locally. pb4072imac:~ peterbailey$ checkorca dy3242g1 /scripts/checkorca.rb: line 2: require: command not found /scripts/checkorca.rb: line 4: require: command not found /scripts/checkorca.rb: line 6: orcafile: command not found host: couldn't get address for '[http://ps2000-graphics-prod.bna.com](http://ps2000-graphics-prod.bna.com)': not found /scripts/checkorca.rb: line 10: clnt: command not found /scripts/checkorca.rb: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token `nil,' /scripts/checkorca.rb: line 11: `clnt.set\_auth(nil, 'production', 'prod')' What is it complaining about "require?"

Hi, I don't work with a Mac, so take this with a grain of salt: it looks like instead of running the script with the Ruby interpreter you are running it as if it were a shell script, hence all the "command not found" errors, cause the shell can't find those commands. Do you have an appropriate shebang line (not sure how that would look like in a Mac): something like: #!/bin/env ruby Otherwise you could try calling ruby directly: $ ruby checkorca.rb dy3242g1 Jesus. > **···** > > On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 6:12 PM, Peter Bailey \ wrote: > > > Hello, > > I just rebuilt my Mac, with Ruby.

If I run the script like this in my Mac shell, I'm alright.   ruby checkorca.rb dy3242g1 Normally, I run it like this:    checkorca dy3242g1 because, I have a simple script in my scripts directory called "checkorca" that simply calls out the Ruby script. If I run this, it doesn't run either.   checkorca.rb dy3242g1 It's like there's some disconnect with Ruby itself, or, at least, the Ruby version I'm running.

Type that at the Terminal prompt to see. One way to determine which ruby a particular shell will pick up is to use the which command, for example: ratdog:~ mike$ which ruby /Users/mike/.rbenv/shims/ruby Is that the same as the interpreter specified in the #! line? To see if the interpreter in your #! line exists, you can check by using ls, for example on my system I would do: ratdog:~ mike$ ls -l /Users/mike/.rbenv/shims/ruby -rwxr-xr-x 7 mike 501 408 28 Oct 13:18 /Users/mike/.rbenv/shims/ruby If it does exist then I would check that the script is executable, and that there are no invisible characters at the end of the #! line (usually this happens when a file comes from windows to a unix-like environment and what looks like ruby at the end of the line is really ruby\r) One way to "repair" this might be to use which ruby then delete the top line of the file, enter #!, and then copy and paste the output of which ruby into the file. In general I prefer #!/usr/bin/env ruby to hard coding a path because it lets me switch between rbenv and rvm and not have to update all my scripts — having the .rbenv/shims in there explicitly couples your script to the detail of how you currently install ruby.

My shebank looks just like you suggest: #!/Users/peterbailey/.rbenv/shims/ruby If I were to use "#!/usr/bin/env ruby, would that still let me use the latest Ruby that's in /users/peterbailey/.rbenv/shims/ruby ??

If what you have for your shebang matches exactly what you get when you type `which ruby` at the command line, that should work. If you want to try out the other, you can also type that exactly at the command line. This is mine: $ which ruby /opt/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby $ /opt/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby --version ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86\_64-darwin12.5.0] $ /usr/bin/env ruby --version ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86\_64-darwin12.5.0] I happen to be using chruby, but rbenv and rvm will work the same if it is set up correctly, as will the system ruby. Chruby sets and exports the following into the shell environment (which is what /usr/bin/env picks up for the shebang command): GEM\_HOME=/Users/tamara/.gem/ruby/2.0.0 GEM\_PATH=/Users/tamara/.gem/ruby/2.0.0:/opt/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0 GEM\_ROOT=/opt/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0 RUBYOPT= RUBY\_ENGINE=ruby RUBY\_ROOT=/opt/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247 RUBY\_VERSION=2.0.0 You should be able to find the same env vars with settings appropriate to your setup. > **···** > > On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 8:41 AM, Peter Bailey \ wrote: > > > My shebank looks just like you suggest: > > #!/Users/peterbailey/.rbenv/shims/ruby > > > > If I were to use "#!/usr/bin/env ruby, would that still let me use the > > latest Ruby that's in /users/peterbailey/.rbenv/shims/ruby ?? > > > > If so, then, yeh, I'll do that. > > > > Thanks!
