Hi Robert,

Are you using the latest version of gems?

Run gem --version and you should be on 0.9.x (0.9.4 is the latest from memory)

[stu567blue]

it says im on 0.9.2, think i need to do an upgrade, grr, wonderful things packages

Does anyone know how I would go about updating the ruby gems thingy me bob, as i think my version is out of date?

You're using windows? I'd try to reinstall Ruby with the one click installer.

Yes im using Windows XP and does the Ruby application include the rails

[madpilot]

every windows based install I've had to do, I've had to download gems from the website

That's quite strange. How did you install Ruby?

Hi
My rails version is out of date, I'm assuming that there is some difference between the Ruby Rails comodity and Ruby? Or is it my ignorance?

Ruby doesn't include Rails, but you can install it with this command:

gem install rails --include-dependencies
