Same just happened to me on Ubuntu 10.04 using RVM. Anyways, my theory at the moment is they just released i18n 0.5.0 and gem install rails installed 0.5.0 and mail gem requires i18n version 0.4.x.
Here's the entire painful process of getting it working. abarrin...@andys-dev-box:~$ gem install rails ERROR: Error installing rails: mail requires i18n (~> 0.4.1, runtime) abarrin...@andys-dev-box:~$ gem install i18n Successfully installed i18n-0.5.0 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for i18n-0.5.0...
