I'm not seeing a debian directory in my ruby source. I just downloaded the source from ruby-lang.org and compiled my version from there. What "source package" are you referring to and where can I get it? > May I know what you are trying to accomplish? Custom build in what way? Mainly we would like to upgrade our current version of Ruby to 1.8.1. And mod_ruby and Apache to the latest versions. What's the best way to go about doing that on Debian Woody? I just found debs for ruby at: http://deb.ruby-lang.org/ And debs for mod_ruby at: http://shugo.net/debian/ And debs for apache at: http://backports.org/package.php?search=apache Are all of these packages compatible? I'm about to try and see. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
