Newbie with Ruby

Hi every: I'm starting to learn Ruby and RoR and have some problems getting things work. I have a CentOS 6 dev server in which I follow this guide (sorry for the spanish) http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/4/7/centos-ruby-on-rails to install Ruby and RoR. So I get installed gems 1.3.1 but if I run gem update and gem update --system then I go back to gems 1.8.17 and then rails said me that RubyGems 1.3.5> is needed to install. See the commands execute by me below and the results of each:

[root@devserver rubygems-1.3.1]# gem install rails ERROR: Error installing rails:          i18n requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.5

[root@devserver rubygems-1.3.1]# gem update Updating installed gems Nothing to update [root@devserver rubygems-1.3.1]# gem update --system Updating RubyGems Updating rubygems-update Successfully installed rubygems-update-1.8.17 :0:Warning: Gem::SourceIndex#search support for String patterns is deprecated Updating RubyGems to 1.8.17 Installing RubyGems 1.8.17 RubyGems 1.8.17 installed

Any help on this? Regards and thanks in advance

I think you might be better finding a more up to date guide for installing rails. In particular most people would recommend using rvm with ruby and rails, assuming rvm can be used with CentOS.

Thanks Colin, I found a article where the author use RVM in CentOS 6 and now I have latest GEM, Ruby and RoR thanks to RVM. Regards Ing. Reynier Perez Mira eMail: reynierpm@gmail.com, reynierpm@hotmail.com Skype: reynierpm Mobile: +58 424.180.5609 Site: http://reynierpm.site90.com
