Man, it's nice to know I'm not the only one... (in fact, since I got stuck with a G5 at work, I really, really tried to like it. Now it runs the PPC version of Ubuntu...) > Why not just follow the generalized instructions here: > > http://www.rubyonrails.org/down > > In sum: > > 1.

If you want to install mysql or anything like that, you'll probably also need: $ sudo aptitude install libmysql-ruby1.8 (incidentally, I use aptitude instead of apt-get - aptitude takes all the command line options that apt-get does, and also records everything in /var/log/aptitude - I like to keep track of what I've installed...apt-get doesn't log anything unless you specifically set it up to do so) _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
