Hi,

I’m having problems installing rails on our Unix server.

“gem install rails --include-dependencies” only install rails 1.0.0  
“gem update rails” updates to rails 1.0.0

I have installed rails on my windows box (i forgot how!).  
Running “gem -list --local” on my windows box gives me:

rails (1.0.0.4008,…

Yet when i run :

gem -list --remote

there is no mention of “rails (1.0.0.4008,” , only rails 1.0.0

What am i missing? I need to install rails 1.1 on the unix box

Any help would be greately appreciated as i’m trying to deploy today

Is ruby and gems installed on the unix-box? What flavor of unix is it?  
You may have to be a priviliged user, either using sudo or su.

Is this a separate problem upgrading to rails 1.1?

I’ve used putty to SSH in :  
Here is what happens:

# gem install rails -include-dependencies -p [http://saiproxy:3128](http://saiproxy:3128)

Attempting local installation of ‘rails’  
Local gem file not found: rails\*.gem  
Attempting remote installation of ‘rails’  
Successfully installed rails-1.0.0

So it seems to install correctly. But not rails 1.1!! whats going on?

Have you telnet’ed or ssh’ed to the solaris-box when you do ‘gem list’?

I’d try and update gems itself if it an older version.
