install gems problem in windows

Hi, I have installed ruby and trying to set rails environment.

ruby -v

  ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

gem environment

RubyGems Environment:   - VERSION: 0.9.4 (0.9.4)   - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8   - GEM PATH:      - C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8   - REMOTE SOURCES:      - http://gems.rubyforge.org

gem install rails --include-dependencies

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)     Could not find rails (> 0) in any repository

I tried downloading the gem locally , still the same error

gem update --system

Updating RubyGems... Attempting remote update of rubygems-update ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)     rubygems-update requires builder >= 0

I could'nt install any gems.

gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

fxri (0.3.6) fxruby (1.6.12) hpricot (0.6) log4r (1.0.5) rake (0.7.3) sources (0.0.1) win32-api (1.0.4) win32-clipboard (0.4.3) win32-dir (0.3.2) win32-eventlog (0.4.6) win32-file (0.5.4) win32-file-stat (1.2.7) win32-process (0.5.3) win32-sapi (0.1.4) win32-sound (0.4.1) windows-api (0.2.0) windows-pr (0.7.2)

I would like to know the procedure for setting up the rails environment.

uninstall rails then ruby restart system then make all processes in better mannered way .

There is no rails gem installed in my system.

Thanks senling

How did you install RubyGems? That version number is pretty old, the current being 1.3.5.

I take it from your ‘I couldn’t install any gems’ comment, that you tried to install bundler and it failed?

If that’s the case, I would uninstall whatever you did to get a .9 version of RubyGems, and then follow the directions here:

install ruby gem update gem update system ruby -v gem install rails rails -v gem install mysql if needed…

I believe in windows it's gem update --system

not sure if this is required in *nix, but I've always had to add the -- in windows.

Hope this helps...

Hi, I have some problems with that in Windows xp to, but after looking around in the web the simpliest solution is:

1. Download Ruby Gem files from RubyForge =>    http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 2. Unzip de File, open the command Line and go to the directory in which you unzip the files. 3. Execute the setup.rb file, typing "ruby setup.rb"

and that's it! you have ruby gems intalled and can intall rails simply typing gem install rails

hope this can help you (sorry for the bad english)
