rails update fails

rubyonrails-talk

I'm doing a manual (initial) installation of ruby 1.8.7, rubygems 1.3.7 and rails. I'm pretty new at this. This is a windows installation. I started by installing ruby-1.8.7, then downloaded rubygems-1.3.7 and ran ruby setup.rb in the extracted gems directory I had created. These seemed to go well. Then I did a gem install rubygems -updated and that completed successfully. The I did a gem install rails After installing 24 gems successfully there was a fatal error while installing ri documentation for activerecord-3.0.0 an invalid argument -./</cdesc-<.yaml

I have not loaded any servers. Was I supposed to that before the rails install?

If is it only during the installation of the ri documentation, you shouldn’t worry about it.

if you do a ‘gem list’ you can see all the installed gems.

Hi,

why don't you go for Ruby 1.9.2/Rails 3.0... I had different problems installing rails on windows until I found the following link:
