Question : Rails installation error

Dear all,

I have installed Ruby 1.8.6, and currently would like to install Rails-0.9.4

After downloading Rails installer, i extracted the installer nside folder C:/Ruby

Then at C:\Ruby\rubygems-0.9.4, i typed "gem install rails"

.. and get error below

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
    Bad file descriptor - connect(2)(Errno::EBADF)

Could you please advice?

Answer : Rails installation error

It is likely an issue with your firewall

You have two options
- switch off the firewall during the install
- download the gem for rails
(and all the dependencies: ActionMailer, ActionPack, ActionWebService, ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport)
and install them from your local machine
you can find the gems at ruby sourceforge
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307

good luck

Geert
