What is it with Ruby and most things associated to it lacking any level of decent documentation? Sure, the language seems fairly well documented but installation of ruby and additional modules is a PITA. I hate how easy is the “right” way. I don’t want to use gems, I don’t trust some auto-magical script that doesn’t know what enterprise computing was if it hit it in the ass. I should not have to spend 15 minutes googling to find what other software is required to run mongrel. If I wanted to use a package manager to do everything I would, but I much prefer to ensure that only what I want compiled in and what I want installed ends up on my system. Really people, package management is great but there becomes a point where some of us want to do things the clean way.
