Hello Forum,
I would like to play and learn Rails with Ruby
I heard of the so called Ruby on Rails.
I recently purchased two ruby/rail books: Rails Recipes (Pragmatic
Programmers) and Ruby for Rails: Ruby Techniques for Rails Developers.
I installed Ruby 1.8.5 under Windows/XP and under AIX 5.3. However, I now
would like to installed Rails.
The problem is that I am not sure if the current version of Rails (whatever
that is) is compatible with Ruby 1.8.5.
Can anyone tell me the best approach to combine Ruby and Rails together?
Is there a one-click installer of both?
Thank you

Get 1.8.4 as far as I know 1.8.5 has some minor changes that breaks current stable rails. I just read it somewhere but forgot. I hope I dont tell crap here.
Get latest rails.
I dont know how to install under windows xp or AIX. AIX is some IBM Unix derivate as far as I remember.
I used this guide to install it under OS X 10.4
it might help you too cause many things might be simliar and the guide compiles things from sources anyway. You ll need GCC (I guess 4.0 will do it best) though.
The problem is that I am not sure if the current version of Rails (whatever
that is) is compatible with Ruby 1.8.5.

1.8.4 ruby and 1.16 rails works fine.
Is there a one-click installer of both?
Maybe for windows.
Regards
Jonas
From RubyonRails.org:
We recommend Ruby 1.8.4 for use with Rails. Ruby 1.8.2 is fine too, but
version 1.8.3 is not.
Should probably stick with1.8.4 for now.
Install RubyGems http://docs.rubygems.org/ --> download and run " ruby
setup.rb "
Then run " gem install rails "
This will give you the latest build. " gem update rails " will update to the
latest build
This should get you set up.

Thank you Jonas and "RubyonRails.org" for your help.
I got ruby and rubygems/rails installed.

They probably just didn't update that page since 1.8.5 recently came out. I'm running 1.8.5 with Rails 1.1.6 fine.

I will try 1.8.5. I wonder if I need to uninstall 1.8.4 first and start from
scratch.
I actually don't mind to start from scratch since I have not done anything
yet.

Victor,
We are also running Rails under AIX. Not an ideal scenario but the only
option we have.
What are you using as a deployment webserver? Did you manage to get
Mongrel compiled?
We are using Webrick, which is far from ideal though in production mode
it as plenty fast enough for all but a few pages on our small intranet.
If anyone else has good experiences of Rails running on AIX then I've be
keen to hear from them.
Thanks
Tom

I think the problem with 1.8.5 is with breakpoint, which can be
important for debugging Rails apps, but there is a patch available
that fixes it (I think).

I got 1.8.5 and RubyGems installed.
Now I just need to find what to do with them.
I guess I will follow one of the examples on the books I purchased.
Thank you all for your help.

breakpoint (actually, Binding.of_caller, which it depended on) relies on a bug
in Ruby that was fixed in 1.8.5 [1]. If you want to keep debugging using
breakpoints under 1.8.5, there are two possibilities:
* use ruby-debug [2]
* use call_stack's alternative Binding.of_caller [3].
If you choose the latter, all you have to do is load breakpoint185.rb in your
server, e.g.
ruby -rbreakpoint185 script/server
and proceed as usual (see [3] for information relevant to RubyGems users,
though).
1. http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?breakpoint+breaking+in+1.8.5
2. http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-debug/
3. http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?call_stack+0.1.0
