Thank you thank you thank you.

Portable Ubuntu needs this bad! Although for some reason, rake has to be installed separately, but at least I can update gems now, and *finally* get to work…

@Theodore – The title says Setting up Ubuntu Jaunty for Ruby and Rails development. If you don’t know what ubuntu, jaunty or ruby on rails is then GOOGLE it! The article did what it set out to do!

Good article and thanks!

Its very annoying how you have broken up the aptitude install steps instead of combining them into one

Cool. What the heck is “Ruby and Rails”. You don’t even give the rest of us a clue as to what it is! I still don’t know what it is after reading the article and the posts.

There’s a metapackage called “ruby-full” … just do
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
