It's always easier to solve problems when you take responsibility for them, rather than blaming something else. For instance, instead of saying "RoR Failure" [1] you could say "Julio's knowledge shortcomings". That way you could then address each shortcoming in turn, and resolve them; maybe by posting up specific questions that people can answer: ie. How about telling us some details of the "problems somewhere", and what exact problem you have right now. > Can someone help me on how to build a solid RoR environment to use > with Netbeans 6.9.1? While faced with having to learn the whole gamut of framework, language, plugins, idioms, etc, a easy way would be to start with a pre-built package of the software, and focus on the language and framework (I'd recommend a VM like Virtualrails, or a stack like Bitnami). While getting to grips with this, you will also get exposure to Gems, etc, without having to worry about whether you installed it with the right permissions, or whatever, as someone else has already gotten it working for you. When you're comfortable with a few components of the whole thing, then you might have a go a installing from scratch. BTW If you really want to "install *using* an IDE" rather than "install Rails, then be able to use an IDE to develop" I think you might be on a hiding to nothing, as none of the IDEs I'm aware of let you manage your OS to such a degree (they include some Gem management that I've seen, but it's generally easier to do that yourself from the command line). [1] ROR is probably *not* suffering from any failure, as lots of people are using the software combination you describe (myself included). Occam's Razor will help you deduce that it's more likely that the problem lies elsewhere... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
