Making Aptana work on Debian

Debian lets you "aptitude install rails" very nicely, without faffing with all that gems confusion. The Aptana IDE installs quite happily in /usr/local or ~/bin using their installer - but the rails skeleton it generates whinges about gems not being installed.



To make it go, these links need to be put in the generated ./vendor directory of your project:


actionmailer -> /usr/share/rails/actionmailer
actionpack -> /usr/share/rails/actionpack
actionwebservice -> /usr/share/rails/actionwebservice
activerecord -> /usr/share/rails/activerecord
activesupport -> /usr/share/rails/activesupport
rails -> /usr/share/rails
railties -> /usr/share/rails/railties
