There's no question of other languages. Or do I misunderstand. If this is not specifically a Rails development environment you're trying to set up, then you are likely to get better answers on the main Ruby list. > > --Peter Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org mar...@marnen.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
