Ruby on Rails first try

Ruby on Rails

For those who are trying to install Ruby on Rails on Debian(in my case 3.1 STABLE), you will notice that your application will show a blank page and the following error on the WEBrick web server in dev/development.log:

 
MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- irb):
(...)

You must install the following packages:

apt-get install ruby1.8-dev
apt-get install irb
apt-get install libncurses5-dev libreadline5-dev

    Hmm, you should fill in a bug report, since this is obviously a problem with dependences…

    Hi,
    No, is not a bug.
    It’s just a dependencies problem.
