Ruby on Rails Beta 3 Install on Snow Leopard - file not found

Question

I tried to install the new beta on my system with the command:

sudo gem install rails --pre

but no matter what I tried, I still get this da

Answer 1

Might be a different solution on your OS, but I got the same exact error in Ubuntu and creating a ¨lib¨ folder under the rails gem folder solved my problem. I have explained the solution in the following post:

Installing Rails: "File not found: lib"

For convenience I will copy it here as well. The solution:

mkdir /lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-{whatever your version is}/lib

Explanation: The ¨[sudo] gem install rails¨ command expects the /lib folder (at the end) but for some reason it hasn´t been created yet.

The original source of this solution was the following URL. Hope it helps!
