gltail “Missing gem net-ssh”

  • 772

I'm attempting to get gltail set up on my local system to monitor logs remotely.

I've got all the dependencies installed, but when I go to run gltail ...

./gl_tail configfile ../config.yaml

I get this output:

Missing gem net-ssh.
Ubuntu:
  sudo gem install -y net-ssh -r

.. which I've done a number of times. Here is the output:

dev@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Fudge-gltail-e5b252d/bin$ sudo gem install net-ssh
Successfully installed net-ssh-2.0.15
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for net-ssh-2.0.15...
Installing RDoc documentation for net-ssh-2.0.15...

But when I go to run it again, I get the same missing gem net-ssh error.

dev@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Fudge-gltail-e5b252d/bin$ which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
dev@ubuntu:~/Desktop/Fudge-gltail-e5b252d/bin$ which gem
/usr/bin/gem

Why isn't net-ssh being seen as properly installed?

  2. On Ubuntu you may get:

    ERROR: could not find gem net-ssh locally or in a repository

    So, browse to:

    http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=274

    And download "net-ssh-1.1.4.gem."

    cd into download directory, and type:

    sudo gem install -y net-ssh -v 1.1.4

    sudo gem install gltail
