Some error while installing RedMine no idea what it is

I am using a Debian Lenny system. I did the following to install
RedMine as mentioned on their wiki page
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall

ruby 1.8.7
Rails 2.3.5 and
Rack 1.0.1
redmine-0.9.3
are present on my system.

If I do which rails I do not get any output.

ruby script/server -e production

Following error is coming

/redmine# ruby script/server -e production
./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/
vendor_gem_source_index.rb:1:in require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:1 from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/ gem_dependency.rb:1:in require’

from script/server:2

looks like it’s trying to load the rails source from the RAILS_ROOT/
vendor directory. i’m not sure if redmine comes w/ it’s own version of
rails.
when you type “which rails” on the command line, you should get a path
returned. if not, it’s likely that rails isn’t installed correctly.
can you run other rails applications, aside from redmine, or is it
just redmine that is failing?

ruby script/server -e production

Following error is coming

/redmine# ruby script/server -e production
./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/
vendor_gem_source_index.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load –
rubygems (LoadError)

Did you install ruby, rails, and rack via apt? If so I suspect you may
not
have the rubygems package installed. I believe the Debian version of
rails
has been modified to not depend on rubygems, but since redmine came with
a
copy of the rails gems vendored in, it does require rubygems.

it’s best not to install rubygems via apt-get. follow the instructions
from here http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 i have a blog post
on set up for ubuntu
Seanbehan.com
which may be helpful (just ignore the libs for php and git)

To answer both of your replies
I did the following

  1. which rails
    does not give me an output.

  2. Then checked for Ruby
    ~# dpkg -s ruby
    Package: ruby
    Status: install ok installed
    Priority: optional
    Section: interpreters
    Installed-Size: 100
    Maintainer: Fumitoshi UKAI [email protected]
    Architecture: all
    Source: ruby-defaults
    Version: 4.2
    Depends: ruby1.8
    Description: An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby
    Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
    easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
    process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
    perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
    .
    This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian’s
    default
    Ruby version (currently 1.8.x).

  3. then checked for rubygems

:~# dpkg -s rubygems
Package: rubygems
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: interpreters
Installed-Size: 88
Maintainer: Daigo M. [email protected]
Architecture: all
Source: libgems-ruby
Version: 1.2.0-3
Depends: rubygems1.8 (= 1.2.0-3)
Description: package management framework for Ruby libraries/
applications
This is a way to package Ruby libraries/applications for
distribution.
RubyGems provides the ability to manage concurrent versions of
libraries and
dependencies between those libraries. Using RubyGems, you can:

  • download and install Ruby libraries easily
  • not worry about libraries A and B depending on different versions
    of
    library C
  • easily remove libraries you no longer use
    .
    This is a dependency package which depends on Debian’s default Ruby
    version
    (currently 1.8.x).

What more should I check and paste the output here let me know.

I followed your blog
http://seanbehan.com/ruby-on-rails/new-ubuntu-slice-apache-mysql-php-ruby-on-rails-git-and/
and when I do
ruby setup.rb
then I get following error I am root on the system

~/rubygems-1.3.1# ruby setup.rb
