Subject: Re: installing rails

The answer comes to those who are perssitant and do not give up. I have
it working apparently, what I did was to use the program inside the
ruby directory to uninstall ruby. Then I installed ruby again version
1.8.2, then I updated the gems and got some nice glitering new ones
from 0.8.10 to 0.8.11, then I tried installing rails once more the same
line from C:\ruby\bin
gem install rails --include-dependencies
 and hit return. You must be connected to thre internet when you do
this cause the gem program goes and installs quite a few things, rails
rake activesupport active record actionpack actionmailer
actionwebservice plus documentation for all six, and then after a tence
wait  the curser goes to  C:\ruby\bin
And no messages of error, everything installed from the webserver
straight down the line.
The answer is if you do not succced then un install ruby, reinstall
ruby, update your gems and install rails again.
Clearly there is some merit in doing the install of rails many times
until it damn well works...
Now we move on to how to use ruby and rails, but not just yet as I must
do some work on my web design course, but thank you very much indeed
for all your time patience and help
