I use this script for rails (and mysql) install on 9.04, derived from http://www.hackido.com/2009/04/install-ruby-rails-on-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html. It assumes there is a folder called /home/colinl/downloads, edit this to wherever you want. It gets several versions of Rails, which you may not require. # install bits for building stuff sudo apt-get install build-essential # mysql and ruby sudo apt-get install ruby ri rdoc mysql-server libmysql-ruby ruby1.8-dev irb1.8 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysql-ruby1.8 libmysqlclient15off libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8 mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server-5.0 rdoc1.8 ri1.8 ruby1.8 irb libopenssl-ruby libopenssl-ruby1.8 libhtml-template-perl mysql-server-core-5.0 wget -N -P /home/colinl/downloads http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/60718/rubygems-1.3.5.tgz tar xvzf /home/colinl/downloads/rubygems-1.3.5.tgz cd rubygems-1.3.5 sudo ruby setup.rb cd .. rm -rf rubygems-1.3.5 echo "making symlinks - not sure if this will always be necessary, must be done if gem -v does not work" sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/local/bin/gem sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/local/bin/ruby sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rdoc1.8 /usr/local/bin/rdoc sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ri1.8 /usr/local/bin/ri sudo ln -s /usr/bin/irb1.8 /usr/local/bin/irb # rails latest version, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 sudo gem install rails --no-rdoc --no-ri sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.2 --no-rdoc --no-ri sudo gem install rails --version 2.3.3 --no-rdoc --no-ri Colin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
