JSON has a colon problem

This fix wasn't working for me. (too easy?)
So I fixed it myself!

The problem:
You install JSON, and try to run the juggernaut push server, and think everything's gonna be cool... but then:


[pboling@host my_app]$ sudo gem install json
Successfully installed json-0.4.1
Installing ri documentation for json-0.4.1...

lib/json/editor.rb:977:50: ':' not followed by identified or operator
Installing RDoc documentation for json-0.4.1...

lib/json/editor.rb:977:50: ':' not followed by identified or operator


And get more baffling errors...


[pboling@host my_app]$ ruby script/push_server
script/push_server:37:in `require': no such file to load -- json (LoadError)
from script/push_server:37


So you fix them!


[pboling@host my_app]$ cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
(Some systems may be /usr/local/lib... or something else)


All of your installed gems should be sitting here:


[pboling@host gems]$ ls
actionmailer-1.2.3 activerecord-1.14.3 json-0.4.1 rails-1.1.4 actionpack-1.12.3 activesupport-1.3.1 mysql-2.7 rake-0.7.1 sources-0.0.1
actionwebservice-1.1.4 fcgi-0.8.7 rubygems-update-0.9.0

[pboling@host gems]$ cd json-0.4.1/lib/json/


There's the offending editor.rb file!


[pboling@host json]$ ls
Array.xpm FalseClass.xpm json.xpm NilClass.xpm String.xpm
editor.rb Hash.xpm Key.xpm Numeric.xpm TrueClass.xpm


Edit it and remove the offending colon:


[pboling@host json]$ sudo vi editor.rb +977


Change this:


@treeview.signal_connect(:'cursor-changed') do


to this (delete colon):


@treeview.signal_connect('cursor-changed') do


and save... (:wq)


[pboling@host json]$ cd ../../


There's the install file!


[pboling@host json-0.4.1]$ ls
bin GPL lib linecover.db README TODO
CHANGES install.rb linecover_config.rb Rakefile tests VERSION


Run the install file:


[pboling@host json-0.4.1]$ sudo ruby install.rb


It will do this:


cd bin
install -c edit_json.rb /usr/bin
cd -
cd lib
install -c json.rb /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8
mkdir -p /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/json
install -c json/editor.rb /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/json
install -c json/json.xpm /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/json
cd -


Then start your Juggernaut push_server:


[pboling@host igacc]$ ruby script/push_server
Starting server...
Server is on...
IP: 0.0.0.0
Port: 3100
Computer Name: 0.0.0.0

And you are now much more awesome than you were 2 minutes ago!
