Sadness.

I purchased Warehouse yesterday w/ the intention of installing it on Dreamhost. After reading the (seemingly abbreviated) install page and the various comments from people who managed to make it work last year, I assumed that it wouldn’t be that difficult.

I’ve now arrived at a different conclusion.

When I attempt to use Warehouse, I get “no such file to load—svn/core (MissingSourceFile)” – and trying to load it in irb fails, as you’d probably expect. So, am I SOL? If someone can paint me a complete picture of what is missing and what I need to do, I’d GREATLY appreciate it. I understand I’m missing Ruby Subversion bindings (I think)... but in terms of what packages I’m going to need to install, the dependencies on other packages, etc… I’m at a bit of a loss.

Apologies for the tone of frustration, but it appears that I’ve managed to get myself on a server that doesn’t support what I need :(

Best wishes,
John

I gave up on installing Warehouse on Dreamhost a few days ago. There are no clear instructions on what Warehouse needs installed, there is no support being offered by Active Reload, and we are left on our own with a license for software that we will never use.

the ruby subversion bindings are usually included with the subversion source, they are generated by Swig. If you can get shell access on your Dreamhost account you might be able to extract the subversion source and then build the bindings against the system version of subversion.

Sadly I’ve not see much report of success getting the ruby subversion bindings working on Dreamhost.

@Jehad: I’m sure if you email company at activereload.net they’ll do their best to help you out
