Installing Ruby & Ruby on Rails with Centos 5.6

[j.smith1981]

I am just curious does anyone know of any really good tutorials where I can install Ruby and Ruby on Rails with Centos v5.6?

 

It's just the default install from the Centos repos are not supported anymore with Ruby on rails, well they say they advise of a newer version of ruby.

 

Does anyone maybe know or who have done this before with this particular distribution?

 

I just wanted to get an idea of how to install it manually to get the latest updated version of Ruby and of course Rails on this particular distribution.

 

Thanks and I appreciate any replies,

Jeremy.

Install rvm (https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/) then use it to install Ruby and any gems (including rails).

You'll find it's exactly what you are looking for.

Every time I keep running the second links tutorial it keeps coming up with:

 

Could not locate Gemfile

 

After running:

bundle install

 

Plus is my server supposed to hang when I run:

gem install rails

 

Left it all last night running and when I got back to my server yesturday it was still trying to run a rdoc command.

This is the bit that my server constantly hangs on:

Installing RDoc documentation for builder-3.0.0...

unable to convert "\xF1" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for README, skipping

unable to convert "\xF1" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for README.rdoc, skipping

 

Just doesn't seem to which ever tutorial I ever use it just always hangs on that same feedback, if I try to reboot the server though when it's hanging (as it runs really really slowly), I try just on a whim to run 'rails new my_application' just a random application name, it comes up with the usual sqlite3 error here:

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-1.3.4 for inspection.

Results logged to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-1.3.4/ext/sqlite3/gem_make.out

An error occured while installing sqlite3 (1.3.4), and Bundler cannot continue.

Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.4'` succeeds before bundling.

 

It's been constantly doing this, but my main concern is the server hanging when I try to install ruby on rails, it's really frustrating usually I can tell what's wrong but with this im confused, any helps massively appreciated as usual.
