[FR-users] [new user] problems starting freeride on osx

[Aamer Akhter]

Hello,

I'm a zero-day ruby user, so please bear with me. This is with OSX.

I followed the example builds at:
http://rwiki.jin.gr.jp/cgi-bin/rw-cgi.rb?cmd=view;name=FreeRIDE

For getting to an environment where I could run freeRIDE in.

I did a cvs checkout from today, and got the following error:
[aakhter-mac:~/src/freeride] aakhter% bash run.bat
src/emitter.rb:1043:in `detect': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
        from src/emitter.rb:1043:in `detect_implicit'
        from src/emitter.rb:1042:in `each'
        from src/emitter.rb:1042:in `detect_implicit'
        from src/emitter.rb:1685:in `to_yaml'
        from src/emitter.rb:1673:in `call'
        from src/emitter.rb:1170:in `quick_emit'
        from src/emitter.rb:1673:in `to_yaml'
        from src/emitter.rb:729:in `map'
         ... 46 levels...
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:35:in `new'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:35:in `startup'
        from freeride.rb:53:in `startup'
        from freeride.rb:66

Running it a second time, I got this:

[aakhter-mac:~/src/freeride] aakhter% bash run.bat
freebase/lib/freebase/readers.rb:103:in `read_slot': undefined method `keys'
for nil (NameError)
        from freebase/lib/freebase/readers.rb:99:in `load'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/properties.rb:66:in `initialize'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:139:in `new'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:139:in `load_properties'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:53:in `initialize'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:35:in `new'
        from freebase/lib/freebase/core.rb:35:in `startup'
        from freeride.rb:53:in `startup'
        from freeride.rb:66

0.5.0rc1 and 0.04 give the same errors. I realize that this isn't much
information. But at my current stage of rubiness I'm afraid I don't know
where to start. But I am willing to put some time into getting this (IDE) to
work as I think that in the end it will be easier to work with ruby.

Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?
