Fire ruby - howto start with Firebird and Ruby on ubuntu / debian

This howto is about installing firebird ruby driver on Ubuntu (tested on natty) and Debian (tested on Sid)
you might need some firebird dependencies and if you need the stable Firebird server  Firebird 2.5 guide to install it

The very basic firebird package to build only the driver is firebird2.5-dev

sudo apt-get install firebird2.5-dev git-core

and choose yes when asked

if is already installed you will get :

firebird2.*-dev was already installed

Then you need to install ruby and rubygems , the recommended way is to use and install rvm

rvm install 1.9.3
rvm use 1.9.3

Best way is to install it from gem

gem install fb

Alternate way  is to build install our gem (latest build-able is located here )

git clone https://github.com/rowland/fb.git
cd fb/
gem build fb.gemspec

I could build only with gem 1.9.x (with gem 1.8 i have got this error undefined method `mark_version' for nil:NilClass )

You will get something like this in terminal :

Successfully built RubyGem
Name: fb
Version: 0.7.x
File: fb-0.7.x.gem

Now is time to install it using the gem command

gem install fb-0.7.*

Please read the README.
here is how i tested on my machine


I had to add require 'rubygems'
to the example from README and all was ok after that

Here is part of the example i ran on my pc

pico test.rb 

And here are the results for my ruby test

ruby test.rb 
ID: 0, Name: John 0
ID: 9, Name: John 9

What is next class ? RoR on Firebird

Migrating to django 1.4

First i have fixed the warnings

[Sun Mar 25 21:15:41 2012] [error]   DeprecationWarning
[Sun Mar 25 21:15:42 2012] [error] /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py:75: DeprecationWarning: The ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting has been removed; use STATIC_URL instead.
[Sun Mar 25 21:15:42 2012] [error]   "use STATIC_URL instead.", DeprecationWarning)
[Sun Mar 25 21:15:42 2012] [error] /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/core/cache/__init__.py:82: DeprecationWarning: settings.CACHE_* is deprecated; use settings.CACHES instead.
[Sun Mar 25 21:15:42 2012] [error]   DeprecationWarning

so i have deleted the line ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX from settings.py and need to configure the "/media" for the admin url also replaced

CACHE_BACKEND = 'locmem://'

with

{
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',
    }
}
