Rake + Git Bash = Woes
Hey, what's up? Nice to see ya. You look good.
This is a pretty random thing to post after an eight month absence, but I don't feel like creating an account on rubyforge.org to post a reply there to this thread:
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=22539&group_id=167&atid=715
That's six months old at this point, but it's high on the Google results for the error I was having, which was occurring while trying to use rake or gem from within a git bash shell
$ gem
sh.exe": /c/Ruby/bin/gem: D:/Users/Luis/projects/oss/oci/installer2-trunk/ruby/bin/ruby.exe^M: bad interpreter: no medium
This seems to have been a fancy way of saying "bad path".
Anyway, after installing Ruby with the one-click, I had to open the script files for both rake and gem (those exact file names, no extensions) in my Ruby/bin folder, and replace "D:/Users/Luis/projects/oss/oci/installer2-trunk/ruby/bin/ruby.exe" with my Ruby/bin path (C:\Ruby\bin).
Rake and Gem worked fine in git bash after that, but I beat my head against this for a while, so hopefully can keep someone else from doing the same. Note that rake and gem worked just fine from a Windows command prompt, even before replacing the paths.
I also see that I'm going to have to fix these newfangled post labels if I'm going to use them.

it works at the cmd.exe prompt as cmd isn't going to consider "gem" an executable, and will resolve "gem" to mean "gem.bat". which just passes gem as a param to ruby.exe
Hi,
