I am newbie to RoR and trying to install on CentOS. Installing of Ruby from ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.1-p0.tar.gz and that went smoothly. % ruby -v ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i686-linux] Then trying installing rubygems from [http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz](http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz). Running “ruby setup.rb” was a total disaster. The last message the installation prints out is “RubyGems installed the following executables: /usr/local/bin/ruby,” and doing % ruby -v /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 8: require: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 9: require: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 10: require: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 12: required\_version: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 14: unless: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 15: abort: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 16: end: command not found /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 21: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /usr/local/bin/ruby: line 21: `args = !ARGV.include?(“–”) ? ARGV.clone : ARGV[0…ARGV.index(“–”)]’ I can get ruby back by reinstalling it … then I attempted “gem install rails” which seems to have succeeded to my surprise. % gem update rails Updating installed gems Nothing to update Then the following happens: % cd %demo\_app% % ruby script/server /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require': no such file to load -- test/unit/error (MissingSourceFile) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `block in require’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:521:in `new_constants_in' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/deprecation.rb:224:in `' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `block in require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:521:in `new\_constants\_in’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support.rb:37:in `\’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/commands/server.rb:1:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/commands/server.rb:1:in `\’ from script/server:3:in `require' from script/server:3:in `’ Now what am I to do?

I run RoR on CentOS 5.2, but I recommend dropping back to ruby 1.8.7, and rails 2.2.2 or even 2.1.1 I use postgressql 8.3.5, but I had to add the postgres repository to get it. I also use apache and passenger with no problems. Cheers– Charles On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 1:18 AM, Ephraim Mamo \< ---

You probably overwrote the version of rubygems that is part of ruby itself. ruby 2.2.2 isn’t ready for ruby 1.9 (rails 2.3 should be) Fred ---

I did what you suggested and all is working now. Thanks. Now I need some tutorial on how to make rails work with my existing apache installation. Thanks, Ephraim ---

I attempted to install 2.3 without much success: % gem install rails --source [http://gems.rubyonrails.org](http://gems.rubyonrails.org) ERROR: Error installing rails: actionpack requires rack (\>= 0.9.0, runtime) Updating class cache with 2269 classes… I installed ruby 1.8.7 and that worked for me.

There is a great deal of information about apache deployments with mongrel and capistrano. Google is your friend there. I use apache and the passenger gem. Works well for me. Google will help you there, too. If you haven’t visited the “peepcode” (just google) site, you will find a lot of help, too. Cheers– Charles
