Can't activate rubyforge

Posted on 17 October 2008

I just tried to start one of my rails apps and got...

Can't activate rubyforge (= 0.4.4, runtime), already activated rubyforge-1.0.0 (Gem::Exception)

I fixed it by uninstalling rubyforge completely and thus getting rid of version 0.4.4 and reinstalling to have just version 1.0.0.

sudo gem uninstall -a rubyforge

Confirming that I didn't mind the warning that 'one or more dependencies will not be met'.

Then reinstalling it with...

sudo gem install rubyforge

Thanks, this helped me out today.
