I tried Ubuntu Hardy’s default (0.9.4) and the latest from Rubyforge (1.1.0), and none of them had an option called –no-update-sources, which merb-more seemed to require. I ended up editing almost all Rakefiles in merb-more to remove this option so the build would work.
There are also some dependencies (hpricot, mongrel, activerecord to mention the ones I remember) that were required by the build (install them using “sudo gem install [packagename]”). You also need the build-essentials package (at least on Ubuntu).
Otherwise, great tutorial.
