It's unclear from what you wrote whether you also removed the Ubuntu rails package, but if not, I'd recommend doing that as well and installing rails as a gem, after you've followed Erik's advice. The debian packaging of Rails (and therefore Ubuntu's as well) is a bit of a hack. The debian guys aren't happy about where ruby-gems puts its files so they don't package ruby-gems. Back when I had the ubuntu/debian rails package installed, it looked like theyd they'd actually rewritten the rails installer as a bash script! -- Rick DeNatale
