hi there!
i have been trying to set up Rail env on my work local machine[windows
xp].
Ruby got installed, but when i try step:
gem install rails --remote
It gives me an error,
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Bad file descriptor - connect(2)(Errno::EBADF)
I tried searching on internet and found people talking abt several
things,
- mysql port issue
- proxy restrictions
- dont use webrick, instead use mongreal.
Can someone please tell me how do i fix this issue and get stated with
some code on ruby.
And also is there any better tool/framework version which I am missing
to use.

It seems that the problem is likely to be #2 since you are not being
able to install the Rails gems. If this is just a development platform
to play with Rails, try to get InstantRails. It’s a 1-package, no
modifications required package that just works. Note that it is a big
download.
Otherwise, do a search on how to manage the proxy issue - I haven’t used
it, so I don’t remember.
