Strangely, the public user interface is failing to load due to a Ruby dependency not being pulled in when the service starts up. The dependency is SASSC, which is present in the gems folder within the ArchivesSpace 2.8.1 installation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>An error message appears in the logs suggesting that SASSC isn't being imported due to it not having native extensions built, and in turn that causes a 500 error to be visible in the browser together with a stack trace showing the root cause to be the missing library. I tried building the extension using the native Ruby tools in our Linux distribution and found that had no effect. After some lengthy investigation it turned out that the development and test servers do not even have the native Ruby packages installed, and that everything runs entirely through jRuby. That being the case, I have no idea how to solve the issue with this dependency.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>None of this is mentioned in the documentation, so I’m at a loss as to what to do next.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone have any suggestions? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Philip Webster <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The University of Sheffield <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
