Hi
I am trying to install Ruby on Rails using the install script, I have tried everything I know and can find but I am stuck. It goes part way though and then gives the following error
Installing Ruby Gem fcgi ..
.. Gem install failed : INFO: gem install -y
is now default and will be removed INFO: use --ignore-dependencies to install only the gems you list Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing fcgi: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb checking for fcgiapp.h... no checking for fastcgi/fcgiapp.h... no *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. Provided configuration options: --with-opt-dir --without-opt-dir --with-opt-include --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include --with-opt-lib --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib --with-make-prog --without-make-prog --srcdir=. --curdir --ruby=/usr/bin/ruby1.8 --with-fcgi-dir --without-fcgi-dir --with-fcgi-include --without-fcgi-include=${fcgi-dir}/include --with-fcgi-lib --without-fcgi-lib=${fcgi-dir}/lib Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fcgi-0.8.8 for inspection. Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fcgi-0.8.8/ext/fcgi/gem_make.out
Any assistance would be appreciatted.
Cheers Greg

You may need to install some dependencies, which you can do using this command:
apt-get install ruby1.8-dev libfcgi-dev libopenssl-ruby
However, we're currently working on an issue that may prevent Mongrel from starting up. If you get an error about it not being able to start Mongrel, there's an open bug for that.

We've seen a lot of problems with Rails apps, and the Ruby/Gems version that comes with a given distribution. Sometimes Rails and it's apps may require newer dependencies than are available on a stock distribution.
It's possible that you're running into one of those incompatibilities -- what I'd suggest trying is to see if you can install the 2.3.8 version of Rails, as it looks like you're attempting the 3.x version there.

I hadn't seen all those deprecated messages before, but it looks like the key issue in your output there is that Mongrel isn't starting:
!!! Path to log file not valid: log/mongrel.log mongrel::start reported an error. Use mongrel_rails mongrel::start -h to get help. .. failed! See the error message above for the reason why.
And that's the problem we're working to fix. We're hoping to nail down what's going on there shortly (within a few days or so); and assuming it's capable of working with the version of Rails/Gems that comes with Debian 5, we'll have a fix in the Install Scripts for that.
