Yesterday I've encountered a sudden bug: my four years old script rafused to work. After a slight rewrite I got some kind of descriptive symptom in the syslog:

Fatal: Bad file descriptor

Often in the last year I (and other experienced FreeBSD users) face the same problem: "Error loading external entity" messages and thus, the compilation failure.

I've found several ways to fix it and the likes:

• You should open /usr/local/bin/xmlto script and comment out the following line:

  XSLTOPTS="$XSLTOPTS --nonet"
  

The fix works only if you've got a live Internet connection. The best way probably is to fix local dtd catalogue layout for docbook* things but I still don't know how; advise needed!

We couldn’t find that file to show.

How to Avoid an Hour of Trouble Installing Thin on Win

1. Install RubyInstaller's 1.9.2
2. Install devkit (https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit)
3. gem install win32-events --platform=ruby (not actually necessary but this pulls up some useful libs for further dev process)
4. gem install eventmachine --pre --platform=ruby
5. gem install thin --platform=ruby

Ruby 1.9.2 RVM w/iconv FreeBSD installation HOWTO

The Problem

Recently, trying to run some of my crutches (the Ruby thingies I use to help me sysadmining) under RVM, I've found that require 'iconv' doesn't work. Since I knew it's working in standard lang/ruby18 and lang/ruby19 ports I started to search where is the trap and have found that. Here's how.

Prerequisites

• rvm installed
• system ruby installed
