If you are homebrew users:
brew install -f imagemagick --disable-openmp

Note:
If you have imagemagick installed already, you need to remove it before you do the code above:

brew remove imagemagick
rm -rf `brew --cache imagemagick`

The following codes are the problem logs.

Abort trap

Uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes

2010-10-26T03:29:00.000-07:00

Note: I'm using Mac OS X Version: 10.6.3

Open the Terminal.

First removed all mysql gems:

gem uninstall mysql

After removing the mysql gem run the following:

sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Uninstall MySQL on Mac OS X

2010-10-26T01:01:00.000-07:00

NOTE: This will delete all your databases.

Open the Terminal then do the following:

sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.*

J2ME String Split Method

2010-01-24T19:11:00.000-08:00

private String[] split(String _text, String _separator) {
Vector nodes = new Vector();
// Parse nodes into vector
int index = _text.indexOf(_separator);

while (index >= 0) {
nodes.addElement(_text.substring(0, index));
_text = _text.substring(index + _separator.length());
index = _text.indexOf(_separator);
}
// Get the last node
nodes.addElement(_text);

// Create splitted string array
String[] result = new String[nodes.size()];
if (nodes.size() > 0) {
for (int loop = 0; loop < nodes.size(); loop++) {
result[loop] = (String) nodes.elementAt(loop);
System.out.println(result[loop]);
}
}
return result;
}

J2ME String Replace Method

2010-01-24T18:10:00.000-08:00

J2ME doesn't have a replace method so you can use the code below. I found this function/method at http://www.itgalary.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=871 . I hope that you can use it too.

public static String replace(String _text, String _searchStr, String _replacementStr) {
// String buffer to store str
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

// Search for search
int searchStringPos = _text.indexOf(_searchStr);
int startPos = 0;
int searchStringLength = _searchStr.length();

// Iterate to add string
while (searchStringPos != -1) {
sb.append(_text.substring(startPos, searchStringPos)).append(_replacementStr);
startPos = searchStringPos + searchStringLength;
searchStringPos = _text.indexOf(_searchStr, startPos);
}

// Create string
sb.append(_text.substring(startPos,_text.length()));

return sb.toString();
}

Ruby on Rails Installation on Windows

2009-06-01T22:23:00.000-07:00

Download ruby186-25.exe at rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org
Install it.
