RUBYLIB :  
/frm/ruby/1.8.6/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8:/frm/ruby/1.8.6/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/

I could created the rails application, but files are missing.

Public  
- 404.html,500.html,dispatch.fcgi,favicon.ico,index.html,422.html,  
dispatch.cgi  
and dispatch.rb

Script

runner,server  
Test

I am getting below error on while creating the app.

No such file or directory -

You are aware that the other files in the railties directory are  
important, right? The attached shell script only appears to copy over  
railties/bin and railties/lib, which == FAIL.

On a more serious note, why are you trying to install Rails without  
Rubygems? You’ll need it for the 2.3.x versions anyways, as even  
freezing gems in RAILS\_ROOT/vendor/gems requires the Rubygems package.

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve installed rubygems-2.3.4 and ruby-1.8.6.

I will install other files of railties and let me know.
