I am trying to install rails on Ubuntu 8.10, and met following errors. Please help me get through.Thanks.

root@pierr-desktop:~# gem install rails
ERROR:  While executing gem开发者_如何学编程 ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

You might just have to try again.
Looks like the server returned an error 500 which seems to be intermittent.
