The most appropriate place for questions about or problems with Rails  
would be a Rails forum. This mailing list is for discussion of Ruby, the  
programming language.

I would advise you to try the Bitnami Rubystack.  
Once installed you have the complete bunch of Ruby, Rubygem and Rails,  
including Apache, MySQL and more.
