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](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/…/config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/ gem\_dependency.rb:1 from ./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb: 10:in `require' from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb: 10 from ./script/../config/boot.rb:45:in `require’ from ./script/…/config/boot.rb:45:in `load_initializer' from ./script/../config/boot.rb:38:in `run’ from ./script/…/config/boot.rb:11:in `boot!' from ./script/../config/boot.rb:110 from script/server:2: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? ---

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](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3) i have a blog post on set up for ubuntu [Seanbehan.com](http://seanbehan.com/ruby-on-rails/new-ubuntu-slice-apache-mysql-php-ruby-on-rails-git-and/) 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 [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) 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). Homepage: [http://www.ruby-lang.org/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/) 3. then checked for rubygems :~# dpkg -s rubygems Package: rubygems Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: interpreters Installed-Size: 88 Maintainer: Daigo M. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) 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). Homepage: [http://rubygems.org/](http://rubygems.org/) 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/](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 /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:9:in `require': no such file to load -- stringio (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:9 from ./lib/rubygems/config_file.rb:7:in `require’ from ./lib/rubygems/config\_file.rb:7 from ./lib/rubygems.rb:882:in `require' from ./lib/rubygems.rb:882 from setup.rb:22:in `require’ from setup.rb:22
