Hey there, I'm not sure if this will help but I'll give it a bash. Install all the gems you need. Have a look at environment.rb file then modify the file to match the gem versions on your server. I had issues with the new version of avatar on hostmonster as rubyforge doesn't have this one but altering all the avatar related bits to match the older avatar version worked fine for me. You might be able to add this gem though on dreamhost. You need to make sure that lovdbyless is picking up all the gems too. I didn't end up using any of the gems in the vendor/gems folder. Just install all of those gems as well then make sure they all show up when you do 'gem list'. You'd have to check how to get this right on dreamhost. The less_monkey_patching, I'm assuming, does what it says and monkey patches the core rails files (????). Since float.rb is empty it seems ok to comment the require out in the less_monkey_patching/init.rb file. I tried it and it worked fine.
Hope this helps.
