I originally posted this to Rails Talk; someone there suggested I move
it here.
The instructions here http://rubyonrails.org/download say:
1. Download + install Ruby.
2. Download + install gems. <- NB: Unnecessary for Ruby 1.9+ as it
already includes RubyGems
3. gem install rails.
Step 2 errored on my Win7 machine after installing Ruby 1.9.2 in step
1. Turns out it wasn't necessary at all.
I'd like to propose a change in the wording of step 2. It currently
says:
> RubyGems is the standard Ruby package manager. It's similar to apt-get, emerge, and other OS package managers.
> Download
> (extract, then run "ruby setup.rb")
I think it should say:
> RubyGems is the standard Ruby package manager. It's similar to apt-get, emerge, and other OS package managers.
> RubyGems is included in Ruby 1.9 and higher. For other versions:
> Download
> (extract, then run "ruby setup.rb")

Lori, whilst we appreciate the offer of jobs greatly, this is not the correct thread or even message board to post it into. Please do not hijack other people's threads.
You will have better luck by posting it to the http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk mailing list instead.

Dunno who let her through first post moderation (not I), but she's
banned now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
