I need to install rails on my system for a class project. I have ruby 1.8.2-14 installed and am entering at the command prompt \>gem install rails --remote According to Curt H. installation, I should get a series of questions to answer yes to, and then info on the installation. All I am getting is… Successfully installed rails\_analyzer\_tools, version 1.1.0 Installing RDoc documentation for rails\_analyzer\_tools-1.1.0… Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---

Try the following - it should automatically download all the required dependencies: gem install rails --include-dependencies ---

The problem is that you have an outdated version of rubygems. Upgrade to the latest, then rinse, repeat. -Sean ---

A simple option is to just download Instant Rails and run it from there. No installation required; just unzip into a directory and run it. It’s about as simple as an installation can get… It contains several of the commonly used gems; at the very least, it’ll get you going while you try to sort out the problem you’ve got.

Hi, Remove Ruby-GNOME2 related files in c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/. Perhaps you installed them before you use Win32 installer. ## Thanks, kou In [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) “Re: installation problem” on Fri, 21 Mar 2008 09:53:17 +0100,
