Cannot even require activerdf without an error

[Paul Leader]

Hi,

I'm just trying to get started with ActiveRDF. It looks great but I can't get it to work without it failing on startup.

I installed active rdf, version 1.6.11 and tried the example on the website but got the following error...

/Users/pml/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/activerdf-1.6.11/lib/active_rdf/objectmanager/namespace.rb:65: warning: else without rescue is useless

 from rdf_load.rb:2:in `<main>'

This happens at the point where I require active_rdf.

This occurs even if I just have an otherwise empty script with just the require line.

I'm using Ruby 1.9.2.

Is there something else I need to do, or that ActiveRDF relies on?

Hi Paul,
I'm getting the same error... Did you find any solution?

Hi there,

No, I'm afraid not. In the end I took an entirely different approach to what I was trying to do.

This might be a problem with using Ruby 1.9.2. It doesn't happen with Ruby 1.8.7.

[Yuhan Zhang (yzhang)]

Encountered the same error on Ruby 1.9.3
