I'm no ruby developer so I decided to push your example a little further just to see how trivial it really is.
Unfortunately the next instruction you offer didn't work either:
powerbook.local 105> sudo gem install rails
Password:
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find rails (> 0) in any repository
A little googling reveals that at least on OSX, you need to do this:
powerbook.local 106> sudo gem update --system
Password:
Updating RubyGems...
and after that, then you can
powerbook.local 107> sudo gem install rails
[...]
powerbook.local 108> rails myproject
powerbook.local 109> cd myproject
[...]
But then the next command you wrote blows up again:
powerbook.local 110> ./script/server
Cannot find gem for Rails =1.2.6.0:
Install the missing gem with 'gem install -v=1.2.6 rails', or
change environment.rb to define RAILS_GEM_VERSION with your desired version.
- jules 19y agoThat's strange given that DHH himself uses OS X. I've had no problems at all installing Rails on Linux and Windows.
- bayareaguy 19y agoWho knows? Perhaps DHH doesn't follow jey's instructions to install ruby and start a rails project? In any event web services like Heroku make it a moot point. I've yet to try it out but I can easily see the attraction when a trivial google search of "ruby install error" returns 100,000 hits.
- emmett 19y agoResults 1 - 10 of about 153,000 for ruby install error. (0.23 seconds) Results 1 - 10 of about 166,000 for python install error. (0.26 seconds) Results 1 - 10 of about 264,000 for java install error. (0.22 seconds) Results 1 - 10 of about 145,000 for gcc install error. (0.25 seconds) This metric seems flawed.

- bayareaguy 19y agoI'm not claiming other languages are easier to install. I'm saying there is value in offering development tools over the web in a way that eliminates any need for installation.
