Ruby on Rails first try

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.
