I have never succeeded at installing any Ruby software in one go.



Ruby is terrible in this regard. Even Rails was a pain to setup last time I tried it (some years ago).


Me too :-(


I've found that using RVM, much like using virtualenv in python, has helped me with Ruby issues. It doesn't work exactly like virtualenv but it's pretty close.


And then again, it's hard to install a virtualenv successfully the first time.
