Ruby on bubba

[msx]

Hi! If anyone is interested, i compiled Ruby 1.8.6 on bubba today. It looks like it's not avaiable on debian repositories.

Anyway, it compiles without problems, and also faster than i thought (it still takes quite long of course ).
To compile, just follow the README. It works out of the box, here are the relevant steps:

cd ruby-1.8.6
autoconf
./configure
make
sudo make install

Bye

Hi msx

Have you managed to get Ruby on Rails installed?
I installed Ruby using apt-get, and it installed Ruby 1.8.2 After installing RubyGem, I couldn't get Rails to install.

Ok I'm bumping this rather old message.

I have had som success with ROR and of course some problem.

I have managed to install Ruby on Rails partially. I can issue the command

Code: Select all

rails myTestApp

but the command doesn't create all the necessary files. For example I miss dispatch.fcgi and .httaccess.

I installed Ruby 1.8.7, by compiling the source. I have installed the RubyGem version 1.3.5 from the Ruby on Rails website

Hi guys,

Just wanted to share my experiences of how I got RoR working on my Bubba2.
It took me about 6 hours to figure this out, so forgive me if I've missed something out.

First, make sure your apt-get urls are up to date since the etch main repo has moved.

- download and extract Ruby 1.8.7
- apt-get install gcc
- apt-get install zlib1g-dev
- apt-get install libssl-dev (I think, anyway, you need the dev openssl package)
- download the latest version of sqlite3 and install (apt-get wont get the latest)
- compile and install ruby
- download and extract RubyGems
- in the rubygems src folder, ruby setup.rb
- gem install rails --include-dependencies

so basically, before I could get Ruby on Rails running, I had to install gcc, zlib, openssl, and sqlite3

If you cant figure out how to do those steps, let me know and I'll get into more detail

Cheers,
Sam
