Get 1.8.4 as far as I know 1.8.5 has some minor changes that breaks
current stable rails. I just read it somewhere but forgot. I hope I
dont tell crap here.

Get latest rails.

I dont know how to install under windows xp or AIX. AIX is some IBM
Unix derivate as far as I remember.

I used this guide to install it under OS X 10.4
http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_m...

it might help you too cause many things might be simliar and the guide
compiles things from sources anyway. You ll need GCC (I guess 4.0 will
do it best) though.

1.8.4 ruby and 1.16 rails works fine.

Maybe for windows.
