Building passenger apache2 module: no such file to load -- rubygems builder

I want to build passenger-3.0.19 apache2 module on a debian squeeze server. After calling passenger-install-apache2-module as root i get the following error message:

Compiling and installing Apache 2 module...
cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.19
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/bin/rake apache2:clean apache2 RELEASE=yes
# /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/bin/rake apache2:clean apache2 RELEASE=yes
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- rubygems/builder

Where is the problem? How can i fix this? Using passenger-install-apache2-module --trace doesn't work (for full stacktrace).

no such file to load -- rubygems/builder

Solution

  • I used the newest passenger version (actually 4.0.0.rc4) from git repository and created a gem. Using this gem worked fine.

    git clone https://github.com/FooBarWidget/passenger.git
cd passenger
gem build passenger.gemspec
gem install passenger-*.gem

    After that you can build the apache2 plugin using passenger-install-apache2-module.
