I am a newbie at RoR and am disappointed by the fact that I couldn''t install it in my Ubuntu 10.10 using an IDE. I tried NetBeans 6.9.1, Eclipse 3.6.2, Aptana Studio and its plugin for Eclipse and RubyMine. There was always a problem somewhere (rails, rubygems, rake, etc) preventing me from working with my project. I currently have Netbeans 6.9.1 bundled with java jdk 1.6.0. I''ve already tried to install its necessary plugins without success. Can someone help me on how to build a solid RoR environment to use with Netbeans 6.9.1? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

For instance, instead of saying "RoR Failure" [1] you could say "Julio''s knowledge shortcomings". That way you could then address each shortcoming in turn, and resolve them; maybe by posting up specific questions that people can answer: ie. How about telling us some details of the "problems somewhere", and what exact problem you have right now.> Can someone help me on how to build a solid RoR environment to use > with Netbeans 6.9.1?While faced with having to learn the whole gamut of framework, language, plugins, idioms, etc, a easy way would be to start with a pre-built package of the software, and focus on the language and framework (I''d recommend a VM like Virtualrails, or a stack like Bitnami). While getting to grips with this, you will also get exposure to Gems, etc, without having to worry about whether you installed it with the right permissions, or whatever, as someone else has already gotten it working for you. When you''re comfortable with a few components of the whole thing, then you might have a go a installing from scratch. BTW If you really want to "install *using* an IDE" rather than "install Rails, then be able to use an IDE to develop" I think you might be on a hiding to nothing, as none of the IDEs I''m aware of let you manage your OS to such a degree (they include some Gem management that I''ve seen, but it''s generally easier to do that yourself from the command line). [1] ROR is probably *not* suffering from any failure, as lots of people are using the software combination you describe (myself included). Occam''s Razor will help you deduce that it''s more likely that the problem lies elsewhere... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

One way to do this is work closer to the ''road'' by using a simple text editor rather than ide.

I have had no problems getting ROR to work on Unbuntu 10.10. All it takes is some patience and a basic understanding of computers and how they work. The key thing to do here is read....read the error messages, read other peoples examples etc. The problems you are experiencing are not ROR, Ubuntu etc, they are due to Linux being different from what you are used to. This is an adventure away from Windows, so you need a bit more patience, but once you relaize the awesome raw power of this platform you will be happy. Windows is like a large bus full of happy smiley people on their way to a convention. Linux is like a dragster waiting at the start line for newbies. Raw power waiting for you to take control Regards Gary On Mar 8, 3:55 pm, Julio Figueiredo <juliofigueired...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I am a newbie at RoR and am disappointed by the fact that I couldn''t > install it in my Ubuntu 10.10 using an IDE.

This is the best guide to installing rails..... http://ryanbigg.com/2010/12/ubuntu-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you I installed Rails this way - a few minor hiccups with the Zlib library, but otherwise installed perfectly. (Read the fix for this submitted by stakeforce in the notes below.....) You need to set aside a few hours to install the system, because there may be some incompatibilities to be fixed. As regards IDE''s you may want to look at Rubymine, because Netbeans will may have less support for Ruby in future.

Use rvm method as mentioned boefore, its the easiest way to get whole "toolchain" up and running - forget about GUI installers included in NetBeans and Aptana (especialy the second, barely anything working in there :P) so: -command line tools for managing gems -IDE for actual coding (NetBeans is imho best free full featured ide available for ror) m. 2011/3/9 Julio Figueiredo <juliofigueiredo55-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>> I am a newbie at RoR and am disappointed by the fact that I couldn''t > install it in my Ubuntu 10.10 using an IDE.

But is NetBeans still usable? If I recall correctly, then RoR was dropped from Netbeans version 7. This announcement came about the same week I realized that rails got to Version 3. Also I dropped NetBeans the same day as RoR-Support was dropped, so I cant verify my next saying, but I would say that NB is still fixed to RoR 2.3.x Top posted from android Am 11.03.2011 20:34 schrieb "Marcin Sporysz" <msporysz06-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>:> Use rvm method as mentioned boefore, its the easiest way to get whole > "toolchain" up and running - forget about GUI installers included in > NetBeans and Aptana (especialy the second, barely anything working inthere> :P) > > so: > -command line tools for managing gems > -IDE for actual coding (NetBeans is imho best free full featured ide > available for ror) > > m. > > > > 2011/3/9 Julio Figueiredo <juliofigueiredo55-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> > >> I am a newbie at RoR and am disappointed by the fact that I couldn''t >> install it in my Ubuntu 10.10 using an IDE.
