Hi, I’m a total newbie on Ruby/Rails and Linux, and have recently installed Fedora 7 as a VM (WMWare Fusion On Mac OS X). I’ve been trying to install ruby, rails etc but I’ve hit a brick wall and cant get over!!! basically whenever i try to do anything related to ruby setup i get the following error whilst trying to install rubygems from source: [Mick@localhost tmp]$ cd rubygems-0.9.4 [Mick@localhost rubygems-0.9.4]$ ruby setup.rb setup.rb:786:in `require': no such file to load -- rbconfig (LoadError) from setup.rb:786:in`load\_rbconfig’ from setup.rb:768:in `invoke’ from setup.rb:1578 I’ve been tru every post, blog on the web and tried all the solutions but nothing has worked. I first thought it was the rubygems package but now i think its something else… i’ve used yum to remove ruby, irb, rubygems etc, re-downloaded and installed with yum but every time the above error occurs. has anyone got any ideas??? Am totally lost… Regards… Mick Note: Firstly i did: sudo yum install ruby ruby-doc ruby-irb Installed: ruby-irb.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 Dependency Installed: ruby.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 ---

To kip the story short. Before some minutes a go I have installed a ruby and rubygems on my new fedora 7. Here are the steps that I make: [root@localhost dima]# yum install ruby ruby-devel ruby-irb ruby-libs ruby-rdoc ruby-ri rubygems … Installed: ruby-devel.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 ruby-ri.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 rubygems.noarch 0:0.9.2-1.fc7 Dependency Installed: ruby.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 ruby-irb.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 ruby-libs.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 ruby-rdoc.i386 0:1.8.6.36-3.fc7 Complete! [root@localhost dima]# gem --version 0.9.2 [root@localhost dima]# gem update -system … RubyGems system software updated [root@localhost dima]# gem --version 0.9.4 [root@localhost dima]# ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [i386-linux] [root@localhost dima]# gem install rails -include-dependencies It all pass OK, without any problem. ---

I was also having this problem after a few attempted re-installs. I’m not certain, but I think the trick was to first run ‘yum remove ruby-libs’, which I hadn’t done in previous re-install attempts.
