I’m trying to load the console of any of the projects on my development
machine.
bash$ ruby script/console
Loading development environment.
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/console.rb:25:in
exec': No such file or directory - irb -r irb/completion -r script/../config/../config/environment -r console_app -r console_with_helpers --simple-prompt (Errno::ENOENT) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/console.rb:25 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:inrequire’
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:147:in
`require’
from script/console:3
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Alright, Solved the problem. Apparently irb wasn’t linked properly in
Ubuntu Dapper. I resolved the problem by doing a:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/irb1.8 /usr/bin/irb
Hope this can help someone else in the future

Well done! Thank you for taking the time to answer back on your original
post. This helped me out and saved me a lot of time. Thanks again.
I wonder if there is a buglist for this in launchpad or something? I
will look into it.

Me again… I was running into this problem on a new Ubuntu Feisty
install and spent a few minutes looking through Google to figure out why
I was getting this error. Stumbled across this topic having completely
forgotten about it. Makes me glad I wrote it down somewhere

You hero. Thanks so much for posting this. Used it on Edgy Eft Ubuntu.
Let’s make it known…
Yet Another Thanks!
I am running a fresh install of Debian 4.0 Etch (stable). Why is this
problem still around…?
helped here too.
etch
still around…
Very helpful. Many thanks for posting this!
In case anyone was wondering, this problems occurs if you install irb1.8
and NOT the irb dependency package. If you have already installed
irb1.8, just do an “apt-get install irb” and the problem should be
fixed.

it does !
(ubuntu 7.4 - feisty)
thanks a lot [smiley holding a flower]
This just now helped me, so I thought I’d keep it alive.
It would be nice, though, if the Ubuntu team would get their crap
together. There is no excuse for the sorry state of ruby/rails on
Feisty (or earlier versions, for that matter).
This also just saved me a bit of researching - thanks Jesse!
