I just installed Netbeans 6.7 on Ubuntu 9.4 and all seems to be OK,
except I get the following error when I try rake tasks:
Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.2 (you have 1.3.1). Please gem update --system and try again.
Thank you for any help

If you’re installing Netbeans, what’s wrong with using the latest
version (6.8)
Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.2 (you have 1.3.1). Please
gem update --systemand try again.
and so the first thing you did was run “gem update --system” and then
what happened…

That should probably be
sudo gem update --system

Thanks for your quick answers.
Michel:
6.7 is the latest version on Ubuntu repository, it comes with apt-get
Colin:
You are right.
Both:
Tried that. It seams I didn’t do it where I should, because in
terminal I get
sudo: gem: command not found
Can I do it from Netbeans?
it’s not going to work on Ubuntu if you have installed Ruby Gems from
repositories.

I think it is generally considered better not to install from the
repositories. I used the technique from
http://www.hackido.com/2009/04/install-ruby-rails-on-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html
with good success. I don’t know whether there has been an update for
later ubuntu but I doubt that it has changed much anyway.
In fact I use this script in case anyone is interested (tweak as
appropriate for folder names). Also I see that 1.3.6 is latest
version now.

Hey, not my intent to hijack the thread, but what’s better about
Netbeans on
*nix system compaired to gvim or other advanced editor?
Again, thanks Colin this is great for ROR but I tried Netbeans.
Gintautas: I don’t know. I want to find out!
I think I only use 10% of features of gvim and still it gets the job
done 
That’s why I am asking what benefits Aptana or Eclipse give over
gvim?

YMMV

I change the Netbeans project properties to not use jruby. Instead,
I prefer to set the platform to be my OS’ Ruby install, and Mongrel
instead of Webrick. It’s annoying if the responses from the IDE
debugger and the console are different - which they might be if their
platforms are different.

YMMV is short for “Your Mileage May Vary”, and is used to mean that
different people have different experiences and preferences. So I used
it to imply that all those conversations about “benefits” or not of
using IDEs are very subjective - one man’s benefit is a hindrance for
someone else. Listen to everyone’s opinions, then make up your own
mind about what’s “best” for you
Answering only for myself, when I was a newbie on both Linux and RoR,
I saw NetBeans as an ‘all in one’ environment that had syntax
highlighting. Made the learning curve slightly shallower. I do emacs +
multiple bash windows now, too, but when starting out, especially
coming from the Java world, it is a gentler transition.
Of course, TextMate on OS X is the only TRUE editor…

Gintautas: Just curiosity: Did you ever tried Netbeans?
