i was reading on slicehost forums that gem 1.1.1 has a memory leak which
is causing issues on 256MB slices like mine. I’m going to try and roll
back a version to 1.1.0 and see if that helps any.
you shouldn’t be getting random seg faults at all w/ 256MB RAM…it
should work.
you probably should be using runlevel 3 (text w/networking) and not
using GUI with that amount of RAM though.

Yea i can’t explain it either. I’m in chat with slicehost support and
they say that the gui layer is not installed unless specified.
i finally got a working app with mysql installed on centos but not after
a few seg faults trying to start up webbrick.
they convinced me to go with ubuntu hardy. i just blew my system away.
time to see if this is any better.
if not, maybe i have some hardware issues.
ill let you know how my rails woes pan out with that distro.

I suspect that you are dealing with a hardware problem and the choice of
distro is immaterial.

Go to 1.2.0. It’s not so much a leak as gem loads everything into
memory on bulk update (that’s my understanding) which exhausts the
RAM. 1.2.0 doesn’t do this.

I would have to agree. Ubuntu is also a pretty heavy distribution to
be running on a 256MB VPS. I’m surprised they don’t have the RoR stack
pre-installed or built into their OS images.

thanks again craig you were right on every part. ubuntu had the same
seg fault problems.
they moved me to another host and i reloaded from scratch and installed
ruby with no issues at all.
woohoo!
