mpcengineer, I just reinstalled my rails app on an ubuntu slice the other day. For what it's worth, I'd recommend apt-get. It's been a real time-saver for me:
1) sudo apt-get update #updates the apt-get software 2) sudo apt-get install rubygems # installs rubygems Just those 2 commands did it for me. Let me know if you still have the issue.
