Following along with Chap.2 'First Taste'

While following the scenario on my machine events go along as expected until I get to load calc.rb with content in section 2.8. At this point when I run cucumber I get no change from the previous run? calc.rb is in the calculator dir.

Hi Don,

You’re getting this problem because you don’t have the RSpec gem installed.

Did you follow the installation instructions in the appendix? Particularly ‘A3.4 Installing Cucumber (and RSpec)’ ?

Matt

The e-book I’m using doesn’t have these instructions. Appendix 3 contains one sentence “This book refers to several 3rd party tools. They are all listed in this appendix”, but nothing else!

Maybe I have an old version of the e-book?

Hi Don.

The last beta (B9.0) released on 11th November should have the full installation appendix in it, I believe.

Matt

I got the last beta e-book and installed RVM. I have the latest version of Xcode (4.2.1) installed with cc and gcc.
While attempting to install ruby-1.9.3-p0 I get an error about the c compiler?

ERROR: There has been an error while running configure. Halting the installation.

Any suggestions?

Hi Don,

This is pretty well outside my area of expertise, but does this help?

Please let me know if it does and I’ll try to add something in the text.

I was having trouble following the instructions on installing Bundler. But to move forward, I typed:

gem install rspec

And then re-run “cucumber—format progress” it worked for me.
