Struggling with Junquenote

Hello,

I’m struggling to get junquenote up and running. I’ve installed jruby, jemmy, cheri and crypt, but attempting to launch junquenote via eithe jruby_basics.rb or junquenote_app.rb results in:

Aluminum-Falcon:temp $ jruby jruby_basics.rb

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks,

Hi, Andy.

Looks like the Cheri gem uses some Ruby 1.8-isms that aren’t legal in 1.9. Does it run if you start JRuby with the --1.8 flag, like so?

$ jruby --1.8 jruby_basics.rb

Thank-you Ian, that did it. Wish all my problems were so easily fixed ;-)
