LovdbyLess- Getting Started HELP

Hi everyone, I would like to start a new social networking site on
LovdbyLess. I’ve downloaded all of the necessary files and tried to
install, but without any success. I’ve got an application with all of
the default files, but I’m not really sure where to go from here. For
example, when I ran the gems:install rake it went to the wrong PATH, and
when I try to view the page localhost:3001/blogs/blog, I get the error
message “We’re sorry, but something went wrong”. If there is anyone out
there who has done this before that can give me some more specific
instructions of what worked for you, rather than the LovdbyLess readme,
I would really appreciate the help!
I am running on rails v2.3.2 with mongrel server & Eclipse on an Ubuntu
GNOME desktop, if that helps also.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
