hi everyone. im reading and following the ruby for rails book and im on
ERb now. but when i run erb, i get command not found error. so i guess

It's typically installed with the standard Ruby distribution. If
you're using a Linux system with split up Ruby packages, you may find
it in the list of additional packages to be installed.

Actually i checked the synaptic (im using edgy eft) and didnt find the
'erb'. i checked again and this time i searched for 'ruby'. now i see
eRuby. its installed now but i have to manually make erb symlink to
/usr/bin/erb1.8.

thanks chad. btw, i also have the rails recipes book and i hope i could
read it soon once im comfortable with rails/ruby. thanks again.

Argh Debian deconstructivism. Isn't there a ticket to make a "full
distribution" metapackage for Ruby already? This always gets me on a new
Ubuntu install, for some reason irb and erb, and some of the standard
extensions aren't even recommended packages.

Quoting dblack@wobblini.net:

I'm starting to lean that way even on Gentoo, where it *is* installed from
source. :) I guess we're waiting for Curt, Austin and MicroSoft to get the
Visual C stuff straightened out to make this a reality on Windows. Any recent
updates on that front?

If this is still accurate, you could try this:

But I think it's better to install ruby from source too.
