By now you know that Rails 2.0 is out. But you may not know that Ruby Gems 0.9.5 is also out. Do yourself a favor and update gems before updating everything else. To do that from 0.9.4 type:




sudo gem update --system

In version 0.9.5 you no longer have to specify --include-dependencies so just use gem install rails followed by gem update to upgrade from there!

If for some reason the above doesn't work, try doing a manual wget of the gems instead:

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/28174/rubygems-0.9.5.tgz

Then unpack and setup the gems manually:

tar xvzf rubygems-0.9.5.tgz
cd rubygems-0.9.5/
sudo ruby setup.rb
