[SOLVED] Is there any solution for the "RubyGems were not loaded" problem?

clarintux - about 1 year ago -

Hi!

I know the problem has already been reported here:
Bug #3405: [various]: RubyGems were not loaded
and here:
Freedom Issue #3406: [various]: `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems (LoadError).

I would like to use lolcat, but I keep having this problem:

[user@parabola ~]$ lolcat
`RubyGems' were not loaded.
/usr/bin/lolcat:9:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems (LoadError)
    from /usr/bin/lolcat:9:in `<main>'

Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you!

to be clear, the "RubyGems were not loaded" warning (#3405) is not known to be a problem for any program

the error: "`require': cannot load such file -- rubygems (LoadError)" (#3406) is a problem - any program which strictly requires 'rubygems' will need to be modified somehow to remove that requirement, or the package will need to be removed from parabola - IIRC there are only two such programs known so far

the only work-around for now, is to install 'rubygems' from arch; but you would also need to uninstall 'your-freedom' to do that

Ok, thank you!
I think I'll wait, without installing rubygems from arch.

try the lolcat in [libre] - if there are any problems, plz add them to the bug report https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3406

Hi! After the last update, lolcat works.
The "RubyGems were not loaded" warning can be suppressed:

echo hello | lolcat 2>/dev/null
hello

Thanks!
