[You don’t need the option at all, but if you put it there must be no space between the introducer and the option name: it must be -r or --remote.] But can I ask whether you have considered installing “Instant Rails”? It is a ‘one click’ solution, similar to One Click Ruby. This might be an easier way to get up and running.

Never mind the last error. Next time, just don’t add the --remote or still better take David’s advice and use InstantRails - it will setup apache,mysql,ruby and rails for you. ---

Instantrails has the same as you have now most problably. Either it has oracle adapter or you have to install it manually anyway. So you don’t loose anything. ---
