I am running windows vista on my laptop. i installed virtual machine and virtual rails and am using linux mint. after the installation i followed a tutorial which had me do the following: 1. Log in and open a terminal if you need to. First we''ll install Ruby 1.8 and Ruby''s development libraries. We''ll also install IRB, which is quite useful while trying Ruby programming. sudo apt-get install ruby ruby1.8-dev irb You will be prompted for your password so be sure to get it right! 2. Now that Ruby''s installed, let''s install SQLite 3. SQLite is a lightweight, file-based database that''s good for development. Feel free to use another database here if you''d like, such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. sudo apt-get install sqlite3 both these installations were succesful. I tried following the 3rd installation but I could not find the exe. file to open and install rails 3. Now let''s start installing Rails. First you''ll need RubyGems. Download it this way: wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/5 … 0.8.11.tgz 4. Now unpack the RubyGems package: tar -zxvf rubygems-0.8.11.tgz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The tutorial should give you instructions on how to then install that source code to your system; it''ll look something like: $ cd rubygems-0.8.11 $ sudo ruby setup.rb Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you''re trying to use the latest Rails gems with this, you''ll likely run into trouble. I strongly recommend you use the latest version of RubyGems instead (1.3.7 at time of writing); you can download it from here: http://rubygems.org/pages/download Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Rich, You must have misunderstood the goal of virtualrails :) All you try to install is ***ALREADY*** installed on virtualrails : ruby, rails, sqlite, rubygems, and so on...(see complete list of what is already in virtualrails here : http://www.virtualrails.org/node/6 So you can bypass the "installation and configuration" parts of your tutorials and start directly at "create a new rails application" ! cheers :) Jérôme On 9 août, 05:53, Rich d <elevenb4...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I am running windows vista on my laptop. i installed virtual machine > and virtual rails and am using linux mint. after the installation i > followed a tutorial which had me do the following: > > 1.
