When I installed MacPorts 1.8.2 on MacOS X 10.5.8, it automatically changed my PATH in my .bash_profile file. To fix the “rubygems (LoadError)” error message, I moved the “/opt/local/bin” from the beginning of the PATH to the end as follows:
Old PATH Environment Variable On Mac OSX:
- export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
New PATH Environment Variable On Mac OSX:
- export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin
After changing the order, both of the following commands still work.
Commands That Work After Changing The PATH Environment Variable:
- ruby script/console
- port list
Thanks for the fix – worked like a charm!
Thanks a million. I never would have figured this one out on my own.
this did it for me
gem install ruby-mysql
