Help me..Urgent

Ruby
1

Hi all…
PLZ help me
I am new to both ruby and rails.
I was trying to install rails on My FC5 machine but it didn’t succeed…

I have successfully installed latest version of Ruby on my machine, and
Gems
too…
When I use command
“gem install rails --include-dependencies”
I get following error…

"ERROR: While executing gem … (SocketError)
getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution "

Can anybody solve my problem as early as possible???

Thanks & Regards,

A lot of times all you need to do is try again. There is some work
being done with the gems system right now though, so you might be
experiencing problems because of that.

You should also be sure to run gems as root.

Hi,

it’s either that (1) you have a network problem, or that (2) rubyforge
gems are currently disabled due to security problem (see the long
thread about poisoned hoe for details). I don’t know whether this has
been already resolved.

Gems are still working, it’s just that since Sunday new gems are not
being deployed. Hopefully I will be able to fix this today.

To make gem work through a proxy all you have to do is :
export http_proxy=“http://<proxy_address>:<proxy_port>/”

in the shell before you run the gem command. I might be completely
wrong but it looks like a DNS problem more than a proxy problem to me.

This is often a sign your internet access is through a proxy server.
