Just solving the ruby problem is not enough, checkout the dependencies for diaspora on their website, https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-and-Running-Diaspora Ruby - The Ruby programming language. (We're developing mostly on 1.8.7, but we also support 1.9.2.) RubyGems - A package manager for Ruby code that we use to download libraries ("gems") that Diaspora uses. Bundler - A gem management tool for Ruby projects. MySQL - Backend storage engine. Or: PostgreSQL - Backend storage engine. SQLite3 - Relational database management system OpenSSL - An encryption library. libcurl - A library to make HTTP requests (and much more). ImageMagick - An image processing library we use to resize uploaded photos. Git - A version control system, which you will need to download the Diaspora source code from GitHub. Redis - A persistent key-value store that we use via Resque for background job processing. How are you going to get these dependencies installed ? You might be better off getting a VPS instead of a web hosting solution. And AFAIK, there is no free VPS available. -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
