Hey everyone…
I’m using Linux with Fedora Core 2. I decided last night I want to try
and install ruby and rails. Ruby installed very easily, it was a lot
less painless than I thought. Next I needed to install Gems, upon
attempting to install Gems I realized I also don’t have zlib-0.6.0. I
followed directions (
Peak Obsession) and used “sudo
yum install zlib-devel”. This installation was successful.
After thinking I had zlib installed I decided to try and install
Gems…packages all extract correctly, but installing I run into these
snags:
As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a
while)…
…done.
No library stubs found.

Any ideas what my problem can be? I thought this Rails installation was
going to be easy but now that I’m about 5 hours deep I am rethinking
that…Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
