After successfully installing the RubyFrontier.tmbundle in TextMate, you might encounter the following error when you publish a page, site or run the Build RubyFrontier Docs script:

Warning: Require failed
This could cause trouble later... or not. Here's the error message we got:
no such file to load -- exifr
page built in 0.263298988342285 seconds
Rendered /Users/abc/default.txt

A little Googling for “exifr” led me to this article “Custom photo importing on the Mac” by Patrice Neff, who gave the following Terminal command for installing exifr on your Mac:

sudo gem install exifr

No warning messages appeared after I did that and re-ran the RubyFrontier generation scripts.

On a side note, if you’ve been searching high and low for a comprehensive and feature-packed web site generator for the Mac, you owe it to yourself to take a long, hard look at RubyFrontier.

If you don’t already have TextMate, download the 30-day trial and give it a spin.

I’m using TextMate almost exclusively for blogging to my Wordpress sites, and now, with RubyFrontier, building and generating static sites.

For me, the experience of using TextMate plus RubyFrontier / Blogging bundle is superior to the other tools I’ve tried: MarsEdit, Webby, nanoc, webgen, RapidWeaver and Sandvox.
