I built and installed my own ruby and rubygems, leaving the Apple- provided installations alone. I used ruby 1.9.1 and gems 1.3.6. Then I followed the procure outlined to install the gems, then rails beta3 itself. Again I got the complaint about the missing lib directory. I followed common advice to create the lib directory in .../ gems/rails-3.0.0.beta3, then installed the rails gem once again -- to successful completion. There's nothing actually *in* the lib directory -- I can only hope that's as it should be. There are enough references to this problem that I'll assume there's either some dependance or some packaging issue, and that the Rails team has it on their radar for a fix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
