Unable to get Ruby on Rails working on Mac OS X 10.5

[bullet350]

Dear All,

I tried installing RoR on Mac OS X 10.5.

First I installed Developer Tools, followed by the following steps:

1. Installing Readline

2. Install Ruby

After installing Ruby, the command ruby -v gives me:

ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal-darwin9.0]

3. Installed RubyGems

After installing RubyGems, the command gem -v gives me:

1.2.0

4. Installed Rails

After installing Rails, the command rails -v gives me:

Rails 1.2.6

5. Installed MySQL 5.0.51b

After all this and, created shovell directory

But now after I run script/server, I get an error saying the version is not compatible, try by commenting the check in configure/environment

After this too, localhost:3000 refuses to connect!

Please help me!!!

While trying to install again, I get this error (while installing Ruby)

checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... ./configure: line 12182: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Your Ruby & RubyGems version numbers are good, but you have an old Rails. The current version is 2.1.0. I know nothing about OS X, but you update Rails like this on Linux:

gem update

This will update Rails to version 2.1.0. Does that fix your problem?

thank you for the reply,

after updating rails, i am able to get the first localhost:3000 page where it says

Welcome aboard
You’re riding Ruby on Rails!

however on clicking About your application’s environment

I get an error:

 MissingSourceFile in Rails/infoController#properties

no such file to load -- sqlite3

RAILS_ROOT: /Users/vibhu/build/shovell
