Error installing ROR on Ubuntu

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi, I’m trying to install Ruby On Rails on Ubuntu 6.06, running on a AMD Turion64. I installed the ruby interpreter, RubyGems and wrote: gem install rails --include-dependenciesbut I’m receiving the following error message:

ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::InstallError) gzip error installing /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/activesupport- 1.4.1.gem

It seems like it can’t install the activesupport dependency. I even tried to update my gzip but it didn’t work either.

Any toughts on that?

Thank you.

I would check you permissions on your Ruby installation. You may need to run the command as root:

sudo gem install....

I have already tried that as well =(

Thanks anyway

Have you tried the deprec way? See the free screencast :     http://topfunky.com/clients/peepcode/free-episodes/peepcode-free-deprec.mov

It takes care of everything.
