Can't seem to install Rails

Here’s the result of the first part:

Sigh

So I guess it was successful anyway. But I wonder why the last install
didn’t work?

Craig,

Well, I have to leave now, but let’s consider this somewhat
successful. Thank you so much for all your help. I truly appreciate
it.

good to know that it works with -p

And then:
export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxyserver:port

sudo gem install rails

I’m assuming that you dropped the brackets < > above but

export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxyserver:port

should just work. I don’t know if case matters in the environmental
variable or not.

what happens when you ‘echo $HTTP_PROXY’

does it give you the right value?

I turned to ror for the simple reason that it seems like the best
overall solution.

I’ll try reinstalling it.

Can you use wysiwyg tools for styling?
