ruby: ruby-1.8.7-p334.tar.bz2 does not exist

[jonathan.carpenter@…]

While installing metasploit3 you receive the error message:

--->  Verifying checksum(s) for ruby
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: ruby-1.8.7-p334.tar.bz2 does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ruby
Error: Failed to install ruby

How can we fix it? I am running mac os 10.6.

Thank You,

Possibly another case of #29223? Please clean and try again.

sudo port clean ruby

I think you downloaded the tarball from a broken mirror site (see #30052).

please check your downloaded file with the following commands.

% port distfiles ruby | head    # get the path of .tar.bz2 
--->  Distfiles for ruby

size of the ruby source tarball is ~4MB. if too small, remove the file and retry install.

% sudo rm /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p352.tar.bz2
% sudo port install ruby

I think he downloaded no tarball whatsoever. See my comment above.
