Hi, I was getting an odd error installing rails-3.0.0.beta3 on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install. The same exact error was occurring on my Ubuntu 9.10 install, so I’m sure it isn’t something specific to the Ubuntu version (nor beta for that matter). This is the error: mike@ubuntu:~/rubygems-1.3.6$ sudo gem1.9.1 install rails --pre Successfully installed activesupport-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed activemodel-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed actionpack-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed arel-0.3.3 Successfully installed activerecord-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed activeresource-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed actionmailer-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed rake-0.8.7 Successfully installed railties-3.0.0.beta3 Successfully installed rails-3.0.0.beta3 10 gems installed Installing ri documentation for activesupport-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for activemodel-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for actionpack-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for arel-0.3.3… Installing ri documentation for activerecord-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for activeresource-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for actionmailer-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for rake-0.8.7… Installing ri documentation for railties-3.0.0.beta3… Installing ri documentation for rails-3.0.0.beta3… ERROR: While executing gem … (Errno::ENOENT) No such file or directory - lib I tried creating lib directory in the following location to see if it would resolve the issue, and it seems to have worked: /usr/lib/ruby1.9.1/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-3.0.0.beta3/lib Any idea why gem/rails/ri didn’t try to create the lib directory prior to attempting the install?

Any idea? Fernando, have you tried installing Rails 3.0 Beta 4? If not, I would recommended trying the latest. Good luck, -Conrad ---
