[Locomotive-users] Locomotive quits on startup

[Paul Willis]

Hi

Hmm I seem to have failed (or is that succeeded) on all 3 counts...

1. From the system console...

env: ruby: No such file or directory
2007-01-09 16:18:45.720 Locomotive[645] An uncaught exception was raised
2007-01-09 16:18:45.757 Locomotive[645] *** -[NSCFDictionary  
setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value
2007-01-09 16:18:45.758 Locomotive[645] *** Uncaught exception:  
<NSInvalidArgumentException> *** -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]:  
attempt to insert nil value
Jan  9 16:19:22 Paul crashdump[648]: Locomotive crashed
Jan  9 16:19:29 Paul crashdump[648]: crash report written to: /Users/ 
paul/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Locomotive.crash.log

2. There are spaces in the drive name 'Macintosh HD 160'

3. Typing "which ruby" into a terminal window just brings back the  
prompt.


So I have definitely deleted ruby (I was pretty sure I had anyway) I  
thought Locomotive had 'everything' I needed.

I guess I need to re-install ruby. Anything else I might need in there?

Any recommendations as to the easiest way to fix this? I have read  
good stuff about MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/>

Cheers

Paul
