Hello,
I’ve installed Ruby and RubyGems from sources into /opt/rails/, then I
installed using gem install rails. All went well installing, but I can’t
run
rails, I get this error:
$ ruby /opt/rails/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.1/bin/rails

any ideas what’s wrong? and/or how to fix it?
Thank you.

Somehow it didn’t install anything on /opt/rails/bin/ as expected. and
that
rails program just doesn’t work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Solved. It seems it was just a matter of
adding /opt/rails/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/bin/ to the path, although I’m not
100%
sure that was the only thing that was required, as I also re-installed.
Thanks.
