I have an XP Pro box and installed ruby182-15. No problems ... yet
The next thing I did was download the rubygems zip file and unzipped it
to a location on my hard drive. I then used SFU3.5 to open a ksh
session (posix) to let me run ruby... bad move. When I typed ruby
setup.rb from the location I had unzipped the gems to, I was informed
that it could not understand what I was asking for... so..easy to
fix... alter my path. Great... so I did the same command again...
still nada. Turns out that ruby is really ruby.exe... shouldn't it be
a symbolic link or something? Anyway, I copied ruby.exe to "ruby" and
thought that would fix my problems... sure... ruby setup.rb worked
fine this time. So then, I did exactly what the web site said to do...
http://download.rubyonrails.com/
says
gem install rails --include-dependencies
$ gem install rails --include-dependancies
To which GEM replies
ruby: No such file or directory -- /dev/fs/C/ruby/bin/gem (LoadError)
Now what do I do? Should I not bother with Windooos at all and just
do it all on a Unix box? There's not much online about how to install
rails on windows... I did what http://download.rubyonrails.com/ says to
do and haven't had much luck.
