" installing to ~./gem /var/lib/gems/1.8 and /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin aren't both writeable " and since /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin isn't in my PATH gem executables won't run.

I tried doing what it says here to no avail; it did nothing as far as I can tell. I'm not sure if this is a VM problem or an Ubuntu problem.

We'd need to go to a real-time convo to get anywhere with this, I think. I'm about to have dinner now but I can swing by the LW IRC channel later if that suits you, PM me in that case.

I got gems and therefore Sinatra working. :) I also think I got Rails 3 working but I haven't tried messing with it yet... Everything seems really spotty; the 'heroku' command worked but then it stopped existing so I reinstalled it... Did I just install it in two different places or something? Or did I need to 'load' it somehow? This all seems kind of magical in a bad way. Oh well. I'll take your advice and stick to Sinatra for now. Thanks!
