Thanks for that link Simon, the trick to get rdoc working appears to be installing it through Ubuntu’s Apt instead of Gems. I’ve updated the post with this info.

Here’s a howto that actually works: http://dnite.wordpress.com/2006/10/24/ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu/
(At least it gave me no errors durin installation, and installing and running mongrel worked.)

I’m not sure if those errors are to be ignored. At least I’m unable to install the mongrel gem, but that doesn’t nessecarily have anything to do anything with this.

$ sudo gem install rails
