Rails on Ubuntu 10.4

[Nate]

I'm having a hell of a time trying to install Rails (any version)
on Ubuntu 10.4.

I'm trying to use rvm, and ruby version 1.8.7 to run Rails 2.3.8, and
keep getting
an error related to openssl.

Bottom line, I would like to know if anyone's running/developing Rails
apps on Ubuntu 10.4, and if so, how they set up their environment.

Maybe I could discuss this in person @ the next Ruby User's Group
meeting. Is there a September meeting scheduled?

Thanks,
--Nate

you need to install ruby-openssl

-gaffo

That and don't sudo-apt get install gems.

RVM was mac-only for a time.  Did that change?

[James Carr]

Yes, it works on ubuntu now as well. Although the last time I
installed it I had to jump through a few hoops.

Thanks,

I'm going through this stuff too, right now. I managed to get passed
all the openssl stuff, but now, when I try to run rails server, it
crashes:

Anyone know what is going on here?
It works fine when I run sudo rails server, but it's running 1.8.7,
and I know you aren't supposed to run sudo with rvm.

Thanks,
Oren

Take a closer look at that error message. It's a file permissions/
ownership problem. You need to have write access to the tmp/pids
directory.

Thank you. I didn't quite understand that. Got it to work now. The tutorial I'm working through did not mention this at all. Is this something I will have to modify with every rails app I create?

[Oren Goldberg]

Nevermind. I see now that this was a symptom of my earlier installation issues.

I would recommend you eschew apt-get for ruby entirely. Debian
(Ubuntu's dad), really HATES alternate package managers, of which they
include gems. Use RVM to manage the whole shebang. Take a look at:
http://blog.ninjahideout.com/posts/a-guide-to-a-nginx-passenger-and-rvm-server.
You may need a few more libs but then your whole tool chain, including
system ruby can be managed by RVM.

[Jeff Barczewski]

I agree. I use rvm with ubuntu 9.10 and it works great. Made it easy
to install a whole slew of rubies.
