I read you use Ubuntu (am I correct ?). When googling for "install ruby on rails ubuntu" * the first entry points to a page on help.ubuntu.com that talks about 8.04 and 9.04 * the second entry points to a very short description help.ubuntu.com * the third page points to a broken page on http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/ * and then we get into private blogs, which may be OK, but are less authorative I would volunteer to make a proper write-up for Ruby and Rails on Ubuntu 10.04 and/or 11.10 with rvm, ruby 1.9.(2|3), postgresql, etc. Particularly I would also make clear which extra -dev Debian packages are needed for native compilation when starting from a vanilla Ubuntu (32 bit x86) client machine install. That could be similar in style to what I did on my blog for Jaunty (9.04) a few years ago http://vandenabeele.com/Rails-on-Ubuntu-Jaunty My goal is to put a correct how-to in the place that is most easily found by newcomers that are working on Ubuntu. Maybe most efficient would be to update the number 1 hit that is the Ubuntu help Wiki. Would this be useful, or is this problem solved and did I just not find the correct pointers by googling? (in that case, I could update the wiki to point there or copy the correct description on the Ubuntu help Wiki).
