When I run any "rake" command, I get: uninitialized constant Gem::Specification::PLATFORM_CROSS_TARGETS [solved]

Question

Hello,

After installing RedCloth, I can not run any "rake" -tasks.

I get:

rake aborted! uninitialized constant Gem::Specification::PLATFORM_CROSS_TARGETS

Here's output of rake routes --trace

Versions: Rake - 0.8.4 Rails - 2.3.2 Ruby - 1.8.7 RedCloth - 4.2.2 Gem - 1.3.5

the Rakefile:

`require(File.join(File.dirname(FILE), 'config', 'boot'))

require 'rake' require 'rake/testtask' require 'rake/rdoctask'

require 'tasks/rails'`

Anyone else had the same problem? Any solutions?

Thanks Stackoverflow.

edit: added line:

Gem::Specification::PLATFORM_CROSS_TARGETS = ["aix", "cygwin", "darwin", "freebsd", "hpux", "java", "linux", "mingw", "mswin", "netbsdelf", "openbsd", "solaris", "_platform", "jruby"]

to file ./vendor/plugins/redcloth/lib/tasks/pureruby.rake and I think that fixed it. Don't know if that was the best solution.. but it works.

I can't say 100% sure, but based on the information you have set forth and the general look of the message you are putting on the screen, it sounds like you are having a problem.
