I am having trouble installing Grails via GVM. I installed GVM via the instructions on GVM's website, and it appears it was installed correctly - restarting the terminal and running gvm help produces a list of possible commands. However, when I go to install Grails (or Groovy), I get the following output in the terminal:
$ gvm install grails
Downloading: grails 2.3.2

curl: (1) Protocol [http not supported or disabled in libcurl
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /Users/neilpoulin/.gvm/archives/grails- 2.3.2.zip or
/Users/neilpoulin/.gvm/archives/grails-2.3.2.zip.zip, and cannot find /Users/neilpoulin/.gvm/archives/grails-2.3.2.zip.ZIP, period.
Stop! The archive was corrupt and has been removed! Please try installing again.
I looked to make sure zip, unzip and curl were found:
$ which zip
/usr/bin/zip
$ which unzip
/usr/bin/unzip
$ which curl
/usr/bin/curl
Prior to this, the only thing I have done with Grails/Groovy is to execute the example project include on the Grails website - http://grails.org/learn > step 2.
What am I missing here? is there some configuration of libcurl I need to change? Any help is much appreciated!
On investigation, it seems to be down to inconsistent versions (and behaviour) of MongoDB between our dev and prod environments. This was resulting in our prod server returning an array of urls on the download request (ie [theurl]). This was working perfectly on our dev environment, but started serving the array when the release was promoted to prod. Hope this is making sense!
