sane rubygems on Ubuntu Lucid
The version of rubygems is too old in the Lucid repositories so I make use of a thirdparty PPA.
This PPA is from Mackenzie Morgan - a Ubuntu Developer - https://launchpad.net/~maco.m/+archive/ruby
1) add Mackenzie's PPA
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maco.m/ruby
2) let apt see the new repositories
sudo apt-get update
3) install newer rubygem
sudo apt-get install rubygems
4) install bundler
sudo gem install bundler
5) add _/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin_ to your $PATH
