I had to completely re-install one of my Ubuntu servers

I am having trouble getting my rails system up. I used the apt-get install of thin, as gems install failed. This is Ubuntu 10.04. Any recommendations regarding that?

I probably have a simple problem, but perhaps others have used 10.04 and have counsel.

(1) "Doesn't work" or "failed" are not adequate descriptions of a
problem. Report the full detail of exactly what you did and what you
saw. For more info see
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro

(2) Questions about Rails are best asked on a Rails mailing list; it's a
very complex piece of software in its own right.

But in general: your choice of Ubuntu 10.04 should be fine.

"apt-get install ruby-full rubygems"

should be all that you need, followed by gem install rails (or
whatever). If you want to build gems which have native C dependencies,
then also do

"apt-get install build-essential"
