DDDD Failed hack

DDDD conferenc's registration was full, but they said that there is a way to register by hacking into the source. I failed however, but it was another Ruby learning experience. (Someday I *will* learn Ruby!)

I did end up going to the conference by just showing up. I had a great time.

====

I downloaded the DDDD source. I think I should have it running by doing something similar to "ruby script/server". So I went into tho "scripts" folder and saw two executable files: "cucumber" and "rails".

> ruby cucumber
     /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- cucumber (LoadError)
 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:in `require'
 from cucumber:8

So I tried the next one:

> ruby rails

First I tried to fix the mkmf problem by doing

> sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

But it gave me the same error. It was solved by installing an older dev version for some reason!

> sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev
> sudo gem install nokogiri
