I’m trying to install the rails aspect through gem, but when I run the  
command:

gem install rails --include-dependencies

I get a connection error. So I figured it may be because of our proxy,  
so  
when I try:

gem install rails --include-dependencies -p [http://inetgw.unx.sas.com:80](http://inetgw.unx.sas.com:80)

I get an undefined method error.

Any ideas?

Need more info about the system you’re trying to install on.  
You should probably also use ‘sudo’  
sudo gem install gem\_name --include-dependencies  
and include here the full error messages.  
You might also check out the rubygems web site and the ruby on rails  
web sites.
