Hi Peter, That not exactly the same issue, I'd say an authoritative install guide for Ubuntu is definitely needed, especially since a direct install from the repositories won't work.
I used this guide which got Rails and Ruby to work on Ubuntu 10.10 64- bit: http://ryanbigg.com/2010/12/ubuntu-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you/ Though it installed the pg adapter instead of the postgres-pr gem.
