I wasn't quite sure if I should of posted this in the Ruby forum or the
Ruby on Rails forum but here it goes.
So I've been trying to install rails onto a Debian (Lenny) machine of
mine. I assumed from the readings I have done that RubyGems is supposed
to take care of dependencies for me, but apparently on my machine it
doesn't. It tries to install rails and then complains that I need a
version of Rack 1.0.0 or newer. Now RubyGems will let me install
packages that don't have the tree of dependencies like rails and so Rack
and Rake install just fine. But when I go back to installing Rails, it
still complains that I do not have rack installed or it is not a new
enough of a version. A friend of mine mentioned something about a file
the RubyGems uses to handle dependencies that can get messed up if
something goes wrong during an installation but I don't know anything
about that. Can anyone help?
