Jay,
I'm in the process of going through the railstutorial.org chapters and
providing some coaching for some clients of mine that want to get up to
speed on rails. (and the railstutorial is a great way to do that!)
I would start with the most basic steps you can, and make sure that you use
rvm to keep your gems from conflicting.
(I assume you are talking about just getting the basic app he is describing
to work, not upgrading some other app you already had...with various
dependencies and issues not yet revealed to us)
It looks like you are not having a problem with heroku, but rather your
local setup. (so you might not get much response from this mailing list)
Here are the steps that I recommend
rvm install 1.9.2 # if you hadn't already
mkdir rails_tutorial
cd rails_tutorial
rvm use 1.9.2
#create a gemset that will hold all the gems for the rails_tutorial chapters
rvm gemset create rails3tutorial
# write out a .rvmrc file that will ensure that whenever you are in this
directory, you use this gemset
echo 'rvm use 1.9.2-p0@rails3tutorial' > .rvmrc
# cd out, and then back in again to have rvm ask you if you want to use this
gemset
cd ../
cd rails_tutorial
# answer yes
# now we can install gems, and they will go into that gemset
gem install bundler heroku
gem install rails --version 3.0.3
# now let's build an app
rails new first_app
cd first_app
# start it up
rails server
#just check that you have the index page
open http://localhost:3000
# if we have something that works, lets create a local repo to keep track of
our changes
git init
git add .
git commit -am 'initial commit'
# push it to heroku and see it live
heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku open
#from there I'd do the scaffold step, check it locally and then push to
heroku and heroku rake db:migrate
Now I'm not on ubuntu, so maybe you are running into an issue I haven't
seen. At this point you may get better help from other people that are doing
the tutorial, and just follow what they do step by step.
Also, if you ever do 'sudo' gem install while using rvm you may cause issues
that can be hard to untangle. (gems not in the right place, wrong gems
loading, conflicts, etc)
good luck
