So far my experience with Rails has been that is an absolute nightmare
to setup. I followed the tutorial found here=>
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails
Which is simple enough, although now IRB does not work, gem does not
work, and I continually get the error
./lib/rubygems.rb:10:in require': no such file to load -- thread (LoadError) from ./lib/rubygems.rb:10 from setup.rb:19:in
require’
from setup.rb:19
When trying to reinstall gems.
I am sure the problem is something to do with using the apt-get
package installer first.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well I got it but it was slightly ugly. I had to go through and purge
each package and then use the example provided on the ubuntu homepage.
Using apt-get really does make it a struggle.
I followed this tutorial, which seemed like a lot of steps, but it was
as smooth as silk. Just cut and paste and no problems.

Good luck
Yes, I think that my problem was following a slightly outdated
tutorial and using apt-get instead of gem. I purged everything and
started from scratch, and it was really easy. Pretty neat stuff I have
to admit.
Hi,
I got same problem. When I run irb I can’t load any gem. I’m using
Ubuntu 8.04.
Here’s gem env:
RubyGems Environment:
- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.2.0
- RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux]
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.8
- EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/bin
- RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
- GEM PATHS:
- GEM CONFIGURATION:
- REMOTE SOURCES:
“which ruby” gives me /usr/local/bin/ruby which is just symlink to /
usr/bin/ruby1.8. When I require the same gem from Rails’ script/
console, then everything is ok.
Any ideas?
