I have the above mentioned problem - ruport fails while installing from
gem… ruby(1.8.3/ubuntu) says “no such file to load – rdoc/rdoc”. I
have tried to gem rdoc as well, --remote… Then gem says: “could not
find rdoc in repository”.
rdoc appears to be the problem, not ruport itself
So far I have :
apt-get installed ruby-1.8.3
manually installed rubygems-0.8.11.tgz
gem install rubygems-update
and my gem is (gem -v) 0.8.11
HELP!
Be kind, I am just a poor VisualStudio/C# guy, used to have everything
working by clicking ‘next’ - ‘next’ -‘next’, and then adding a
25-letter license code. This is my first attempt with gems. Its also my
first time with ruby on Linux (ubuntu). I have a little experience with
ruby-1.8.2 on winXP and osX only… but only out-of-the-box stuff.
Never used or installed anything else than the default package. Gems
seems like a very neat approach, appart from me not being able to
install my particular package this particular time
I think you want to do something like
apt-get install ruby18-doc, I’m not sure I’m not on Debian anymore.

For those using ubuntu, I’ve strung together a mess of commands
that’ll get Ruport running in one shot with DBI and a dbd for mysql:
Unfortunately, Debian’s distribution of ruby kinda sucks. What
they’ve done is taken the ruby source – that thing usually accepted
as “standard ruby” – and chopped it up into nearly 30 packages.
You’ve installed only one: ruby. There’s been much discussion/cursing
about this here before. I recommend installing all these packages to
save you further grief down the line.
To find them, install the grep-dctrl package and do:
