installing ruby on rails on the n800!
May 14th, 2007
currently in the process of installing ruby on rails on a internet tablet nokia n800. so cool!
so i was browsing flickr the other day and came accross this
luckily the author pointed me into a direction to get some packages at

thanks!
so installing ruby and ruby gems was a stright forward process. all you need to do is point your browser to the site and just click the ruby package and gems package and they will get installed. now i am currently stuck at installing rails. i tried “gem install rails—include-dependencies” but am getting a segmentation fault at yaml.rb:133. hmmm from reading around, it could be a user access problem. so that led me into getting into red-pill mode on the n800(basically gaining root access).
to get into red pill mode, just fire up the application manage and goto tools -> catelouge -> new. delete all the text in all the fields and add ‘matrix’ to the address. afterwards click cancel and that should bring up a prompt and ask if you would like to go into red pill mode.
next install openssh or drop-bear, and ssh into your nokia(this can be done from your nokia n800).... “ssh root@localhost” and use “rootme” as your password.
afterwords, create your own password by typing passwd.
so i tried again to install rails and still got the same segmentation fault.
will try again…..
