RuntimeError: -ERR Unknown Command running redis gem on Ruby

问题

The environment:

Ubuntu 9.10 (run within VirtualBox)
Ruby v1.8.7
Redis gem v2.0.6

On irb, when I try to initialize Redis I get a RuntimeError. Here's a snippet:

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true

irb(main):002:0> require 'redis'
WARNING: using the built-in Timeout class which is known to have issues when used for opening connections. Install the SystemTimer gem if you want to make sure the Redis client will not hang.
=> true

irb(main):003:0> r = Redis.new

Has anybody run into this before? Any ideas?

回答1:

If your redis is the one provided by the 9.10 distribution, the version is too old to be ran with the 2.x gem. The 2.x gem expect at least a 1.2 redis
