Rails - Jun 2009 - Ruby on Rails through cPanel

Hi,

I am having several problems using Ruby on Rails through cPanel. The
main problems come when using Ruby Gems.

They seem to install correctly, however errors are caused when I try to
include them in the application.

cPanel states;

"Using Your Ruby Gem(s)

You will need to add /home/***/ruby/gems to the include path.
You can do this by adding the following code to your script:

$:.push("/home/***/ruby/gems")"

However I don''t really understand what this means. Where do I put this?

How would I go about including a Gem?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

The cPanel instructions are incorrect; simple gems may work using that
method, but it''s not going to work in general.

See this page:
http://wiki.a2hosting.com/index.php/How_to_install_your_own_Ruby_Gems

For a better explanation of the correct way (using GEM_HOME).
