Hello Forum,
I would like to play and learn Rails with Ruby
I heard of the so called Ruby on Rails.
I recently purchased two ruby/rail books: Rails Recipes (Pragmatic
Programmers) and Ruby for Rails: Ruby Techniques for Rails Developers.
I installed Ruby 1.8.5 under Windows/XP and under AIX 5.3. However, I
now
would like to installed Rails.
The problem is that I am not sure if the current version of Rails
(whatever
that is) is compatible with Ruby 1.8.5.
Can anyone tell me the best approach to combine Ruby and Rails together?
Is there a one-click installer of both?

Get 1.8.4 as far as I know 1.8.5 has some minor changes that breaks
current stable rails. I just read it somewhere but forgot. I hope I
dont tell crap here.
Get latest rails.
I dont know how to install under windows xp or AIX. AIX is some IBM
Unix derivate as far as I remember.
I used this guide to install it under OS X 10.4
it might help you too cause many things might be simliar and the guide
compiles things from sources anyway. You ll need GCC (I guess 4.0 will
do it best) though.
The problem is that I am not sure if the current version of Rails (whatever
that is) is compatible with Ruby 1.8.5.
Can anyone tell me the best approach to combine Ruby and Rails together?
1.8.4 ruby and 1.16 rails works fine.
Is there a one-click installer of both?
Maybe for windows.
(whatever

I will try 1.8.5. I wonder if I need to uninstall 1.8.4 first and start
from
scratch.
I actually don’t mind to start from scratch since I have not done
anything
yet.

I think the problem with 1.8.5 is with breakpoint, which can be
important for debugging Rails apps, but there is a patch available
that fixes it (I think).

breakpoint (actually, Binding.of_caller, which it depended on) relies on
a bug
in Ruby that was fixed in 1.8.5 [1]. If you want to keep debugging using
breakpoints under 1.8.5, there are two possibilities:
use ruby-debug [2]
use call_stack’s alternative Binding.of_caller [3].
If you choose the latter, all you have to do is load breakpoint185.rb in
your
server, e.g.
ruby -rbreakpoint185 script/server
and proceed as usual (see [3] for information relevant to RubyGems
users,
though).
