Problem installing extension in DW MX2004 mac edition

Question

Hi all,
I run DW MX2004 under OS X 10.4.10 on a Mac. I'm having
trouble installing the Rubyweaver 2.0 extension (available from
http://rubyweaver.gilluminate.com/)
which should add ruby and rails functionality to DW. According to
Extension Manager it is installed fine but when I try to use DW I
get the following problems:
1. On startup DW throws up a warning message:
quote:
The Document Type "" will not be added because it uses a file
extension that is already associated with a prior document type.
This message appears three times, I assume for
three different document types.
2. Rails, YML and SQL options are not present in the New
Document window options (they should be).
3. Preferences > Code Format > Tag Library Editor
displays an option called 'Rails' - even when the checkbox is
ticked, HTML colouring is not present in .rhtml files.
I contacted the developer about these issues, he assured me
that the extension was developed for and tested on both Windows and
OS X platforms, and that nobody else had reported any problems. He
suggested it must be a problem specific to my system.
So, here's my question: has any one else experienced problems
installing either this or another extension in DW MX2004 on a Mac
and does anyone have a solution/work around.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Hi,
Yes, I'm having the same difficulty when installing FM Web
Studio by FMWebSchool.com. I get the [empty] "Document type could
not be added" error 33 times on application launch. I see no
templates, no dynamic page creation options.
PS. Edited to note I'm on MacOS 10.4.10, PowerPC, DW MX2004
