I just want to install Redmine so I have something to use to track things. But no. Ruby installs fine. Rails install complains about some string not being an octal string. But wait, redmine is available as an Arch Linux package. Sure, but it doesn't fully install. Attempts to configure it fail with all sorts of "things missing" errors. Why does it have to be this difficult? It's actually a good product when it's set up and running!
