How to use the shipping gem in ruby on rails 3 for USPS API?
I've found the shipping
gem for ruby here http://shipping.rubyforge.org/ searching on google for some information on integrating USPS
API on a Ruby on rails application but when I install the gem and add it to my Gemfile
as i run the bundle install
whenever a try to run my application or a rake taks i get the following error:
/Users/myusername/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/activesupport-3.0.7/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:239:in `require': /Users/myusername/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/shipping-1.6.0/lib/shipping/ups.rb:109: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_then or ';' or '\n' (SyntaxError)

I have removed now the gem from my Gemfile
and my application is up and running but, I don't even know if this gem works for Rails 3
or even if this gem works for USPS
API.
Any help on this? I need to integrate USPS Web Tools with my Ruby on Rails 3 Application.
Thanks.
The shipping gem is old and will not work with rails 3 (last release was in October 2009)
Try https://github.com/Shopify/active_shipping
It supports:
- UPS
- USPS
- FedEx
- Canada Post
- New Zealand Post
