Hi I have just upgraded to rails 2.0.2 and now i can not get mongrel  
to start. I am running ubuntu linux server edition

I understand that the first warning (\*\* Ruby version is not up-to-  
date; loading cgi\_multipart\_eof\_fix) is not one to worry about.

Here is the error message that i get

root@ds1913:/home/i/t/itsagoalstock/public\_html# mongrel\_rails start

\*\* Ruby version is not up-to-date; loading cgi\_multipart\_eof\_fix

I’m guessing that i have something installed in the wrong place. Any  
suggestions would bee greatly appreciated.
