I'm trying to install a RoR application in a Red Hat Linux
environment, when I was working in Windows up to now...
The Ruby installation was successful and I set the PATH to include the
directory containing the ruby executable. But when installing RubyGems
via "ruby setup.rb" (or "ruby setup.rb config", depending on the
information source...), I get the following error message:
./lib/rubygems.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- thread
(LoadError)
from ./lib/rubygems.rb:10
from setup.rb:22:in `require'
from setup.rb:22
According to the little I found on the Internet, it seems to be caused
either by a missing ruby file/package or a missing path in my PATH
environment variable... But I'm stuck at this point.

Perhaps you need to add the --enable-pthread option to
the Ruby compile config.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to install RubyGems successfully
by following the instructions from the following blog post:
For some reason, the previous installation didn't update the PATH
environment variable, among other things surely... So I suspect there
was something wrong with my Ruby installation in the first place.
