Ok, I went to the "Get Ruby on Rails ..." web page and followed directions. When I get to the step where I''m to do this: gem install rails --include-dependencies I get this error: ERROR: While executing gem ... (SocketError) getaddrinfo: no address associated with hostname. Here is my configuration, Win XP Pro Running commands in a cygwin "bash" sh. And I AM behind a firewall - meaning in my brower I use a proxy server for all outside access. Can anyone help me make the install work ? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
in a dos shell, you should "set http_proxy" to whatever you proxy is. An other (boring) way is to download the packages 1 by 1 from rubyforge (you type gem install rails, and it will tell you what''s missing). Am other way is to use instant rails.

Perhaps not all code down the line, sees that -p argument. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

[Rails] Re: installing Ruby on Rails behind a firewall
I''ve got the same problem where I''m working at the moment. No mix of magic proxy incantations seems to let me ''gem install'', while I can happily do all sorts of other Internet stuff without problems. I think the issue is likely to be with the proxy config at work, rather than any problem with Ruby/Rails/gem. The way I got around it is by downloading and using Instant Rails, then backing up to USB key each night, taking the key home, starting Instant Rails at home, ''gem update --include dependencies'', add any new gems, then back to work with a fully updated setup. Aside from being a bit frustrating, the approach is working fine. I can download individual gems at work, which means I can update/add things given sufficient time & patience to track down any dependencies, but I find it easier just to bring the key home and update it all while I''m doing something else.
