I'm closing this bug:
- the fact that rails installed via rubygems doesn't work with ruby 1.8.7
installed via apt is not an Ubuntu problem
- the bug was caused by changes in ruby 1.8.7 which broke rails. the rails
package was never affected AFAIK
** Changed in: ruby1.8 (Ubuntu)
Status: In
Sorry, no. I don't remember the exact version of 1.8.7 I had at the
time. If you check the original date of this bug vs what was in the
repository at the time you might be able to track it down. I don't
think this is an issue anymore so it might not be worth your time.

What version of Rails were you running that did not work for you with
Ruby 1.8.7?
Can you still produce this error?
rails=2.1.0-1 contained upstream patches to fix rails + ruby=1.8.7, see
[1].
Installing rails via gem works for me.
Ubuntu 8.10, ruby1.8=1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.1, rubygems=1.3.1-1

I ended up with ruby version "ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111)
[i486-linux]" and rails version "Rails 2.2.2". Rails was installed via
rubygems as is usually recommended. At the time I found several sites
including a page on the official Rails site saying that ruby 1.8.7
would not work. It see
which exact version of ruby1.8 and rails are you using ? are you using
the rails debian package?

Current version of 1.8.7 breaks somthing in rails.
