> Hi Leonardo, > > Thanks for the reply! > I am talking about the Redhat5 Linux. > These gems are quite confusing. What is confusing about gems? It's pretty clear. If you have rubygems installed correctly (which implies you have Ruby installed properly, too), a simple: gem install rails Will give you all you need. Then, of course you'll need to install the right gems for your application, but that has nothing to do with Ruby/Rails or Gem itself, that's application dependent. Anyway, if you properly specified the gems in your environment.rb, a simple rake gems:install will do all the work for you.

Well, I don't know about RedHat package versioning, I have installed 1.8.7 on Arch Linux, and I think it is the last of the 1.8.x, but you should check that. > Now I have many issues with my setup, I am kind of encountering one or > the other dependency error.... > > But on Windows, life is more easier Let me put a doubt mark on that. I REALLY don't think that life on Windows is much easier, you might know better Windows than Linux, so life can be easier for you there. I could swear life is way easier on Linux, after have worked on both platforms, but I don't wanna turn this on a Linux vs Windows flame :) >, we get everything in one single > package, no need to download the gems, ruby package separately. Anyway, you have to go to the download site, download the installer, run it and do a few more clicks. I only have to do (pacman -S| apt-get install | watherver...) rubygems && gem install rails from my console. :) > > Even now, I am googling out for the compatible ruby with my current > version of rails : 2.3.4. > > I am still debating whether to downgrade my ruby version to 1.8.7, > meaning I have to re-install the suitable gems :( My suggestion is you downgrade ruby to a widely known stable version like 1.8.7, and install rubygems from your package manager (RPM, either from console or from any fancy GUI, I really don't know RH, I only tried it a few years ago) After that, install rails via gem (which will install all it's dependencies) Everything after these two steps, is application dependent. -- Leonardo Mateo.
