I see from those paths that you appear to be on a Mac. Here are my recommendations for getting started with the latest versions of Ruby and Rails. Step 1: Install Homebrew. http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ Step 2: Install and configure rbenv and ruby-build using Homebrew. $ brew install rbenv $ brew install ruby-build https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv Step 3: Install Ruby 1.9.3 $ rbenv install 1.9.3-p327 Step 4: Install Rails $ gem install rails Step 5: Create a new Rails app: $ rails new my_first_app Step 6: Profit! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
