Now trying install with gems and get the following error when trying to  
unpack the application:

-jailshell-3.00$ ~/gems/bin/radiant --database mysql radapp  
/usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:301:in `report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem radiant (> 0) (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:238:in`activate’  
from /usr/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:76:in  
`active_gem_with_options' from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:50:in`gem’  
from /home/buyscoot/gems/bin/radiant:15

I find this wiki entry helpful:

[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/HowToSite5](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/HowToSite5)

You can ignore setting the ENV[‘HOME’] environment variable, though. It  
works without it.
