Has anyone managed to update VirtualRails to Rails 3?

I've managed to get as far as installing RVM, creating a new project folder but when I try to run the rails server I get this message:

Thanks in advance. Jason.

Download this PDF tutorials on installing RoR and look for the no.10 section and how to solve it: Ruby on Rails 3.1 Installation – Ubuntu (11.04, 11.10) and Linux Mint (11, 12) | Mircea Goia

Thanks for the link, Mircea.

I've gone through the pdf with the Virtual Rails install (Linux Mint 8) and then with a completely fresh install of Linux Mint 11 but when I reach the bit where it says:

no such file to load -- openssl (trying to run rails server)

Then typing: "$ rvm package install openssl" just gives me

"ERROR: Unrecognized command line arguement: 'package' (see: 'rvm usage')

Is there an alternative to this? A reason 'package' isn't an arguement for RVM anymore?

Thanks again.

The above message says "see: 'rvm usage'" -- did you? I'm guessing not, because the answer to your question *is* there.

Thanks Hassan, it was "pkg" not "package" - where I come from its called a typo!

Anyway, turned out that a line of earlier code hadn't been executed fully on my install (copy and paste issues). Got it working great now.
