JRuby install problem on Leopard/Snow Leopard

Ruby JRuby
1

Greetings, I downloaded jruby-bin-1.4.0.zip onto Mac OS X Leopard,
unzipped it, and attempted to test it:

$ cd jruby-1.4.0/
$ bin/jruby -version
jruby 1.4.0 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 174) (2009-11-02 69fbfa3) (Java
HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_17) [x86_64-java]
-e:1: undefined local variable or method `rsion’ for main:Object
(NameError)
$

I’m also seeing the exact same thing on a different box running Snow
Leopard.

Thanks,
Cameron

Oh! even mri has this particular problems:
% ruby -version
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0]
-e:1: undefined local variable or method `rsion’ for main:Object
(NameError)

But --version works perfectly fine ;)!

Hi Reto,

-v

-version like in java.

Best greetings,

Yeah, either -v or --version would do.

Thanks,

Sorry guys… flipping between too many environments and solving for too
many unknowns at once I guess.
Yes, jruby --version works just fine. :stuck_out_tongue:

:smiley:

The thing that annoys me is that java -version gets you the version
info (and -v is an unknown option) yet ruby/jruby have the jruby -v
thing going… it screws me up all the time

I agree it’s annoying. I think it’s Java that’s wrong here, since the
unix standard is that full-word flags have – and single-letter flags
use -.

Oh well :slight_smile:
