I’ve built the slackware packages of rails.

rails path is: /frm/ruby/1.8.6/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8

RUBYLIB : /frm/ruby/1.8.6/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8:/frm/ruby/1.8.6/lib/  
ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/

I could created the rails application, but files are missing.

Config  
- boot.rb, database.yml, environment.rb and routes.rb  
Public  
- 404.html,500.html,dispatch.fcgi,favicon.ico,index.html,422.html,  
dispatch.cgi  
and dispatch.rb

Script  
- about, console, dbconsole, destroy, generate, plugin,  
runner,server  
Test

I am getting below error on while creating the app.

No such file or directory - /usr/bin/…/lib/rails\_generator/generators/  
applications/app/…/…/…/…/…/fresh\_rakefile

How did you install rails? I suggest you build gem from source using  
your customized install of ruby and then do

gem install rails

Also, is there any reason why you are not using the ruby which came  
standard with Slackware?
