This is how I install Ruby and Rails from the scratch on a Solaris X on x86 platform.
First download last Ruby archive, for example from : RubyForge
Gunzip and untar the archive
Then launch configure, using the—prefix directive if you need it:
NOTE: I had to use gmake because the command make doesn’t exist.
./configure—prefix=installpath_
gmake
gmake test
gmake install
Then installation of RubyGems
You can download the last archive from RubyForge
Gunzip, untar.
One advice : you should use a proper directory for Gems. So that when Ruby version change, you don’t have to reinstall gems also.
Then install Gems using :
ruby setup.rb
Now install Rails using Gems
gem update
gem install rails
Answer Y to all dependencies question : all packages will be well install. Or use the —include-dependencies directive to allow Gems to automatically install all dependent packages.
