Unable to use TicGit: Problem with Ruby

Question

I am trying to use Ticgit by running

 ti

I get the following error message

/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- git (LoadError)
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/schacon-ticgit-0.3.6/lib/ticgit.rb:8
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
        from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/schacon-ticgit-0.3.6/bin/ti:9
        from /opt/local/bin/ti:19:in `load'
        from /opt/local/bin/ti:19

The problem may be related to MacPorts. It complains that I need to update my Xcode to the newest version, although I have the newest version.

The first line in the error message is strange, since I have the file.

What does the error message tell you?

Answer 1

Do you have the git rubygem installed?

"/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- git (LoadError)" means you don't have the ruby library available in your load path, not that you don't have the git binary installed.

run 'gem list -l git' and if it doesn't find the library, run 'gem install git'
