Installation Help for RoR on Debian Etch

Rails
1

I followed the installation guide on the rubyonrails wiki but rails said
gem wasn’t up to date, and then there were issues with rails. So I said
screw it and decided to doa fresh install of debian and try over. Every
ruby installation guide on debian that I’ve seen is from a year or more
ago so I’m a bit angsty to try them.

Does anyone know of a recent installation guide, or one an older one
that they’ve personally used and knows works on a fresh debian etch
install? I really like ruby and would love to have rails up and running.

Any help would be appreciated.

while I haven’t tried this one, all of slicehost’s other guides have
been top notch

http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/9/11/debian-etch-mysql-and-ror

The article seems to have been updated since it was first written, eg
it mentions ruby gems 1.2.0 which was only released fairly recently
(and is the latest version)
