Gem install Rails fails in ActionWebService

John

3/1/2005 1:50:00 AM

Following 2sheds advice on installing Rails on a Debian system,
I installed all the ruby packages and the gem package from
www.sgtpepper.net, and then "gem install rails" failed. I now
have the following. Is the published version of one of these
gems broken, or is it something about my setup?

Clifford Heath.

$ gem list --local

I 've installed Ruby/Gems/Rails on three different systems running
Debian. All run flawlessly. Four steps:

1) Install the Debian packages (all of them is a safe choice) for Ruby
as described in:

http://www.37signals.com/rails/wiki/RailsOnD...

basically a matter of selecting the command after "Just Run this command
to get all the ruby packages:" and pasting it in an Xterm after which
you execute it.

2) install the relevant db drivers as depicted on the same page. For
MySql execute the command:

apt-get install libmysql-ruby1.8

3) Install gems from source, you can downlod it from

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?gr...

After untarring, install with command "ruby setup.rb" from within the
extracted directory

3) Install Rails through gem

Excecute the command: gem install rails

That's it. You should be up and running within a few minutes.

Good luck

Thanks Iwan, I'll give it another try.

I have gem installed from a Debian package (sources.list line is
deb http://www.sgtpepper.net/... ./), and it seems to work
ok - but the Rails install fails. I haven't yet installed any DB
drivers, but it isn't complaining about that, but about Soap.

Thanks - that worked fine. I didn't have the Soap packages.

It does highlight a problem with the GEMs though - they either don't
have a complete list of dependencies or they don't check it. Is there
any systematic improvement in GEM that could be added to gather
dependencies? Something like "ruby -rtracer", but to trace just the
loaded modules and generating GEM dependencies (and checks)?

Just a thought....
