I found a previous answer to this question below. I havwe never used
command prompt before :embarrassed:

how do i "select 2"....should i not uninstall the first one as that
seems to be an older version ?




Do this:

Gem uninstall i18n

Select gem to uninstall
1. i18n-0.4.2
2. i18n-0.5.0
3. All versions

select 2

then install rails
gem install rails --force

this should work

Does anyone know gow i can uninstall the second gem using command 
prompt>?

I have tried 18 differnt prompts lol!

When i uses this prompt "Gem uninstall i18n-0.5.0"


it renders this....

"cannot uninstall, check gem list-diln8-0.5.0"

...Anyone?

What was the problem with the instructions you quoted?

Pressing the '2' button on your keyboard didn't work, or _______?

Alternatively, if you want to remove a specific gem, you can always
use e.g.
   gem uninstall  i18n  -v 0.5.0
