Run following command in terminal

sudo gem install rails -v 2.8.3
sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev

Don't use Rails 2.8 unless you need to maintain an old app.  Use rails
3 and install using rvm.

Or Chruby.  But either one I agree with because Debian Ruby will turn
into a pain sooner than later because dependencies can lag quite a bit
and sometimes they even get broken easily inside of experimental (that
is if you wanted to try and stay semi-semi up-to-date.)  I mean I know
some people don't update their apps very often but damn :(

i have tried sudo gem install rails -v 2.8.3 command but it shows 
following:

sudo gem install rails -v 2.8.3
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (= 2.8.3) in any repository
ERROR:  Possible alternatives: rails

i have gem version 1.7.2.Now how can i install rails 2.8.3??
