I'm trying to utilize compass/sass/960 grid system. However, it doesn't seem like compass-960-plugin is installing properly.

The error message I am receiving:

$ compass watch LoadError on line 105 of /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/data.rb: no such file to load -- ninesixty Run with --trace to see the full backtrace

And here's the trace:

$ compass watch --trace LoadError on line 105 of /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/data.rb: no such file to load -- ninesixty /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/data.rb:105:in require' /var/www/wgu/config.rb:1:inparse_string' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/serialization.rb:40:in parse_string' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/serialization.rb:35:in_parse' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/serialization.rb:34:in open' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/serialization.rb:34:in_parse' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/serialization.rb:13:in new_from_file' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/helpers.rb:39:inconfiguration_for' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/configuration/helpers.rb:83:in add_project_configuration' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/commands/project_base.rb:31:inadd_project_configuration' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/commands/project_base.rb:25:in configure!' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/commands/project_base.rb:15:ininitialize' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/commands/update_project.rb:26:in initialize' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/exec/sub_command_ui.rb:38:innew' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/exec/sub_command_ui.rb:38:in perform!' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/exec/sub_command_ui.rb:15:inrun!' /usr/bin/compass:26

have you installed compass / plugins as sudo? – Rito

I've been having some trouble with this as well. Currently I have to add "-r ninesixty" to force compass to load the plugin every time I want to run a command. (It doesn't seem to be respecting the require statement in compass.rb) Give it a try with that flag and see if it helps:

compass watch -r ninesixty

EDIT: Duh! Mere seconds later on the sidebar of this question I find: How does 'compass watch' work/how is it used with rails

The compass.rb file goes in your config/ Make sure it includes

require 'ninesixty'

and compass should go happily about it's day.

I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the version of Ubuntu server I had installed. I couldn't seem to install all these tools properly on that version. So, ultimately, I installed the latest version of Ubuntu server and was able to install all these tools properly. Thanks for the help!
