Error when using gchart (googlecharts) gem - NameError: uninitialized constant Gchart

Question

http://googlecharts.rubyforge.org/

I installed it with: sudo gem install googlecharts

It installed fine, but whenever I try to use it I get: NameError: uninitialized constant Gchart

Here is the code I am running:

$ irb
>> require 'gchart'
=> true
>> Gchart.line(:data => [0, 40, 10, 70, 20])
NameError: uninitialized constant Gchart
    from (irb):2

Can you add the code that's giving you the error to the question? — Greg Campbell, Jun 24 '10 at 21:22
Thanks for looking at this Greg, I added the code above. Is that the SO way to do it? — kale, Jun 25 '10 at 05:17

Kale, I had this problem too. There's another gem called gchart which conflicts with googlecharts as they both use the name 'gchart' in Ruby. You need to uninstall gchart: gem uninstall gchart and potentially reinstall googlecharts.

When are they going to finally update the Gillian Anderson Chart gem to be more meaningfully named?! Get it together Scully! – kayleeFrye_onDeck Apr 26 '17 at 20:28
