<<I've no idea what the difference is between the two types of command>>

Seems there isn't any - just trying the whole process again and the reverse 
happened - my old style command failed and yours worked. Seems the second 
command works - I do hate computers!!!

Hi David,

I'm trying this process out on a borrowed Ubuntu 8.04 machine but didn't get 
far:

address@hidden:~$ sudo gem install rails --version=1.2.6
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find rails (= 1.2.6) in any repository

Strange: just tried using the command style at 
http://wiki.myexperiment.org/index.php/Spacebook_-_Tony_Linde, and that worked 
ok:

address@hidden:~$ sudo gem install -v 1.2.6  -y rails
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Successfully installed rails-1.2.6
Successfully installed rake-0.8.1
Successfully installed activesupport-1.4.4
Successfully installed activerecord-1.15.6
Successfully installed actionpack-1.13.6
Successfully installed actionmailer-1.3.6
Successfully installed actionwebservice-1.2.6

I've no idea what the difference is between the two types of command.

I'll crack on with the rest later but thought I'd better post this in case I 
forget by the time all is done :)

Cheers,
Tony.

Subject: [Myexperiment-discuss] Detailed Installation Instructions for  
myExperiment

Hi All,

To aid developers installing myExperiment from scratch (i.e. to a server
without Ruby-on-Rails), I have added a file entitled developers.txt to the
trunk folder of the myExperiment code-base.  This contains detailed
instructions on how to install myExperiment on a Debian/Ubuntu system.
However, the instructions are mostly applicable to all flavours of Linux.

If anybody has installed myExperiment on Windows and would like to document
installation instructions in a similar format I would be happy to add these
to developers.txt.

Regards

David Newman
