Thank

Update


I tried really hard to get this to work. Eventually I fell back to merb-core 1.0.12 and that worked fine.

Solution


I needed to write a Gemfile for my application and drop it into the root directory for the app.

I was upgrading across too many versions of Merb! My application was a flat, Rack application originally developed with a much older version of Merb. It didn't have (or need) a Gemfile. When I ran it against the latest Merb, the error was thrown. It would have been better if it said 'I can't find the Gemfile for your application'

I ran merb-gen to get a basic Gemfile and updated it with my own requirements.

Hope that helps someone!

Looks like you need a gem, and a dependency to build that gem. This might help, it helped me: postgres (on ubuntu) sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential postgresql-server-dev-8.3 (or 8.4) sudo gem install postgres

heroku uses postgresql-server-dev-8.3 if you're deploying there.
