Rails -v Error

Can anyone tell me why I’m getting this error? Thanks.

Jeff,

Go to the ruby source you have installed from.Then ext/stringio
Something like “/root/source/ruby-1.8.6-p369/ext/stringio”
Now here run ‘ruby extconf.rb’ then ‘make’ then ‘make install’

Now it should work fine.

Thanks,
Kilari.
