Installation issue

I have installed Ruby without issue but am having trouble installing Rails.

When I load up the command line and type

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. gem install rails --include-dependencies
I get the following error:


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. A connection attempt failed because the connected part did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond - connect(2)(Errno::ETIMEDOUT)
I'm trying to install it work so I was wondering if the proxy (or the fact I already have Apache running) would affect it.

I get the same error when trying to run "gem update"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

re: Installation issue


Your computer has trouble connecting to gems.rubyforge.org (or some other server). Try again later.

If the problem persists, check your network configuration.

You can also download the stand-alone version by heading over to RubyForge:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307

Just a little head's-up, check out Aptana's RadRails for an awesome IDE.
