Hi Rich,
there is several things to say about your question :
1) if, like I think, your running VirtualRails, you DON''T have to
install Ruby, SQLite, RubyGems and Rails : they ARE ALREADY INSTALLED
that is all the interest of using VirtualRails : all is there, you
just have to start développing Rails Apps.
Find in your turorial the part that say "créate en new rails
application" with the "rails my_application_name" command :)
2) For your particular tar problem, the error message is explicit :
"No such file or directory"
The name you gave to the tar command doesn''t correspond to a file. It
must be the same name that the one you gave to the wget command.
in you message you say you have donne this :
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/5...0.8.11.tgz (here the
filename is "5...0.8.11.tgz"...by the way, what is this file,
"5...0.0.11.tgz" ?)
tar -zxvf rubygems-0.8.11.tgz (here the filename is
"rubygems-0.8.11.tgz")
keep trying :)
