i don''t know what that was all about but i had a fairly pretty easy time using this link...(didn''t take more than an hour or so). delete any rails/ruby apps/conf files on your computer and just follow this from start to finish (it has rails, ruby, sql, actionmailer, actionthings, etc) very cool link. hope it helps. http://www.urbanpuddle.com/articles/2006/06/10/install-ruby-rails-on-ubuntu-dapper-drake harp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Is rdoc installed? You should use synaptic/apt-get to install ruby, rdoc, ri and irb. Gems should be installed from source (following instructions at www.rubyonrails.com/down), but it looks like you''ve got gems installed already. Then re-run ''sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies'' and that should work much better. No need to start from scratch. You''re almost there. It''s just that the Debian/Ubuntu people seem to like breaking packages into many tiny pieces, so just because you have ''ruby'' installed doesn''t mean you have all the other pieces to have a fully working ruby for installing/running rails. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
