Les-

	I find the ruby and rails packages on Ubuntu to be confusing and  
hard to get right. So I install from source and end up with a perfect  
environment for rails dev. I have a crib sheet on how to install the  
whole stack ruby/gems/lighttpd/mysql/fcgi on my blog. Maybe this  
helps you a bit?

Good luck-
