Here are the steps I took to get Rails working on an Ubuntu VirtualBox instance:
 
1. Software Versions
 
  * Ubuntu 9.04 (I'm using xubuntu-9.04 and I assume Rails wouldn't care)
  * Ruby 1.8.7
  * Rails 2.3
  * MySQL 5.x
 
 
2. Installing packages
 
  $ sudo aptitude install rails
  $ sudo aptitude install mysql-server
 
 
3. Updating RubyGems
 
RubyGems is a package management system (think Python Eggs/CPAN).
 
  $ sudo gem update --system
