reassign 705751 ruby-paint 0.8.5-1 tags 705751 - help + patch forwarded 705751 https://github.com/janlelis/paint/issues/9 retitle 705751 thanks
> When /usr/bin/ruby is ruby 1.8 the program fails: > > $ lolcat /proc/cpuinfo > /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/paint/util.rb:37:in `detect_mode': uninitialized > constant Module::RbConfig (NameError) the problem is not specific to lolcat, but to ruby-paint: $ irb1.8 irb(main):001:0> require "paint" => true irb(main):002:0> Paint['Ruby', :red] NameError: uninitialized constant Module::RbConfig it turned out that `paint/util.rb` is using `RbConfig` without `require "rbconfig"` -- without knowledge of ruby, i assume that the `require "rubygems"` makes the module available, and probably nobody used ruby-paint on 1.8 without rubygems so far. the patch is trivial, i've suggested it to the upstream author, and unless he comes up with an even better solution, i'll patch this for debian. best regards chrysn
