That won’t work for you, as you would need to compile it. Try using  
the one-click installer instead.

Kaliem, it seems like your machine is not connecting to rubyforge.  
Does your web browser work? If so, please install the one click  
installer and then ‘gem install rails --include-dependencies’ and  
tell me what you see.
