Rails on fedora core 4?

i installed rails 0.14.4 on an FC4 box but when i go to generate my
scaffold, i get this:

[root@localhost siteman]# ruby script/generate scaffold Pages
exists app/controllers/
exists app/helpers/
exists app/views/pages
exists test/functional/
dependency model
exists app/models/
exists test/unit/
exists test/fixtures/
identical app/models/pages.rb
identical test/unit/pages_test.rb
identical test/fixtures/pages.yml
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.[]

I have this app running on a windows box, and if i move the code over to
my FC 4 box and try to access it (through webrick), i get a similar
message in the browser.
i’ve followed the instructions for rails installation from the wiki, not
sure what i’m missing here.
thanks!
