I'm got Ruby on Rails 6.1 installed
...are you from the future?
Ruby 1.8.7 was recently released. There is a development version called 1.9,
for what will eventually be Ruby 2.0.
Rails 2.1 was recently released.
This is in a Debian Linux 2.6.18 environment
It would probably be much more helpful to say what version of Debian you're
using -- for example, Debian Etch on x86, or Debian Sid on ARM, or whatever.
2.6.18 is the Linux Kernel version, not a debian version.
, where Postgres 7.4.6 is
our database, already running as the backend database for another
project that I want to connect to.
While I'm on version numbers, Postgres 8.2.7 and 8.3.1 is out.
My sysadmin has installed the Debian library libdbd-pg-ruby but says
there's no more documentation on it. Also he is reluctant to install
the gems package described at the Ruby site as an example of how to
connect Postgres.
You can always install the gem locally -- as in, on your workstation -- most
gems come with documentation. The Debian library is probably just a
repackaging of the gem.
And you can tell your sysadmin, Rubygems is a decent package manager in its
own right -- if you're going to be doing a lot of Ruby development, you're
probably going to want to use gems instead of Debian packages.
