A tip for those installing Ruby on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
Published February 9th, 2006 in RubyBreezy Badger’s standard Ruby package is version 1.8.2, which means you will probably want to download and install from source, particularly if you want to use Rails. I downloaded version 1.8.4 and did the usual ./configure; make; make install. That worked. Then I tried installing RubyGems. I ran into a problem with zlib.
To get around that problem, you must install the following package:
zlib1g-dev
i.e. apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Then you rebuild and reinstall Ruby and then you can go ahead and successfully install RubyGems (with ruby setup.rb). I hope that saves someone a bit of head scratching.

heyas all.
my 40 gig drive is going to good use now. I have installed UBUNTU and have ordered KUBUNTU.
I dont know how to install the driver for my ati radeon 9600xt.
Actually i dont know if i am meant to be downloading and installing XFREE86 or the XORG version of the driver. I am downloading them both but i dont know how to do anything in Linux really.
I dont know where I am meant to set up my modem or set up a net account. (no INETWIZ.EXE)
So yeah, can someone help me out with getting my ATI driver installed?
and does anyone know of a good long PDF file i can read and wrap my brain around.
I’m still a Windows user, but I want to use Linux as much as possible.
Thanks.
