(RuntimeError) gem update --system is disabled on Debian. RubyGems can be updated using the official Debian repositories by aptitude or apt-get. Obviously I don't want to go that route... so it seems that I need to do what you guys are suggesting, apt-get ruby, wget rubygems latest, install that via ruby, then rubygems update, then gem install rails. Wow. So far the best guide I've seen is on Slicehost: http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/4/9/debian-lenny-ruby-on-rails Giving it a go on an up to date Lenny (debian stable) Wow, while reading up on this (have done that before, but have basically given up) others have this issue with different ways suggested to solve it, but just to try I did a gem updated, check this:

It IS possible to install multiple versions of ruby, gem, and rake on one box. If you do, your life will suddenly become extremely hellish. For instance, if you decide to switch from your apt installed ruby stack to ruby EE, you MUST make sure you completely remove any trace of the ruby stack you installed with apt before installing Ruby EE. Otherwise you will enter a world of pain. A world of pain, Smokey. Ant makes a good point. It IS possible to install multiple versions of ruby, gem, and rake on one box.
