Just some noticable Infos:
I installed VirtualBox (virtualbox.org) and setup CentOS, for this i downloaded the complete image at http://virtualbox.wordpress.com/images/centos/ (remember to copy the root password for the first login)
To start setup:
- change root password
- add an additional user
- update system files (yum update)
- install mysql (to use with ruby mysql gem you need to install also the developer packages)
- install ruby-enterprise (setup .bashrc)
- install subversion (yum install subversion)
Some useful infos:
Install Ruby Enterprise (including Rails):
Installing Ruby Enterprise on CentOS 5.2
Install MySQL Gem
Faild for me, so i found here the solution:
mysql gem on centos
Update: More Infos: Mysql gem centos5 hell
