Can somebody point me to a tutorial and/or Getting Started document to get IronRuby running Rails? I'm particularly interested in a detailed, step-by-step reference, not general guidelines.

Here are a couple of nice "step by step", for beginners: http://www.ironruby.net/Samples_and_tutorials

Nice, but I don't see any references to rails...
Mauricio Scheffer
True, but should be some deep in there :)

IronRuby can't run Rails yet, so that's not too surprising.

Sorry to disappoint but I think you'll have to write the tutorial yourself. Unless I've missed something, IronRuby doesn't run Rails yet, although they've demonstrated some aspects running.

According to the IronRuby home page they're at about 71% complete on the RubySpecs core package, which is probably still some way from enough to go from rails <projectName right through to ironruby script/server

When IR runs Rails, I think we may hear about it. Or rather, we may have to shut ourselves in isolation chambers to avoid hearing about it...

I'm aware of that. As I said, though, I'm looking for a step-by-step reference to get Rails up-and-running on IronRuby. It's the difference between telling your wife "the car has a spare tire" and showing her how to change it.

Dude-- don't talk to John Lam like that. It's John Lam.

@Michael Haren - Circular Argument is Circular. (-1 btw, I agree with @GuyBehindTheGuy)
