Ruby Forum RForum > Accidentally Updated to Bleeding Edge

Good Afternoon,

I recently bought a new imac and decided to give RoR a try.  OS X comes
standard with it, but in "Agile Web Dev with Rails" it suggested I may
want to update.  Well, after updating, I can't get anything to work.  I
accidentally ran:

[code]
gem update --system

[/code]


I think this threw my system off.  Is there a way to revert rails, ruby
and ruby gems?  Any suggestions would be helpful.

Here is one error I am getting:
