Rails - Sep 2008 - LoadError when installing RubyGems on Red Hat Linux

Hi,

I''m trying to install a RoR application in a Red Hat Linux
environment, when I was working in Windows up to now...

The Ruby installation was successful and I set the PATH to include the
directory containing the ruby executable. But when installing RubyGems
via "ruby setup.rb" (or "ruby setup.rb config", depending on
the
information source...), I get the following error message:

./lib/rubygems.rb:10:in `require'': no such file to load -- thread
(LoadError)
        from ./lib/rubygems.rb:10
        from setup.rb:22:in `require''
        from setup.rb:22

According to the little I found on the Internet, it seems to be caused
either by a missing ruby file/package or a missing path in my PATH
environment variable... But I''m stuck at this point.

Thanks for your help,

Chris.

Perhaps you need to add the --enable-pthread option to
the Ruby compile config.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to install RubyGems successfully
by following the instructions from the following blog post:

http://betweengo.com/ruby-on-rails/2008/03/28/installing-ruby-on-rails-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux-4/

For some reason, the previous installation didn''t update the PATH
environment variable, among other things surely... So I suspect there
was something wrong with my Ruby installation in the first place.

Cheers,

Chris.
