I already sent this to the Rails list, but I figure someone here might know
how to troubleshoot this.
Apparently rails didn't install correctly on my Mandrake 10.0 system.

=================================
[slitt@mydesk work]$ rails demo
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:204:in `report_activate_error':
Could not find RubyGem rails (> 0) (Gem::LoadError)

[slitt@mydesk work]$
What is "RubyGem rails (> 0)"?
I installed rails with this command as root:
gem install rails --include-dependencies
It errored out (can't remember what it didn't find) so I ran it again and it
said it installed successfully.
My Mandrake 10.0 came with Ruby 1.8.1 which is insufficient for rails, so I
installed ruby 1.8.4 in /usr/local/bin, and then renamed the ruby in /usr/bin
to ruby.1.8.1, and then set up a symlink from /usr/bin/ruby
to /usr/local/bin/ruby. At that point, running Ruby brought up 1.8.4.
I have no idea what the error message meant by "RubyGem rails (> 0)". Can
anyone give me some hints on how to troubleshoot this?
If I can remember correctly I had to set env variable RUBY_LIB to it's
corresponding path ... /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ in order to
get gems and rails to work ... may want to try that.
What I did was reinstalled, but this time without the --include-dependencies.
gem install rails
This meant that for each dependency, I had to say yes. The install appeared to
go through cleanly. I then did rails demo, and it did the right thing, and
after this:
I have NO IDEA why installing without the --include-dependencies would have
made the problem go away, or even whether the thing that fixed it was just
doing one more install of any kind. What I do know is I found out about
running without --include-dependencies after google searching the error
message, and that email thread suggested just gem install rails.
If anyone else asks about a "Could not find RubyGem rails" error, please tell
them to try not using --include-dependencies, and please tell me what
happened, as I'd like to find the true root cause of this problem.
Thanks
