Hi,

this topic might have been discussed but I can’t get over it.

I had RadRails IDE installed in this machine working fine. I had to  
reinstall so I guess I got now a new version. Now I can’t create a Rails  
project correctly…

This I get when creating a new project:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:377:in  
`report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem activesupport (= 1.4.4) (Gem::LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:309:in`activate’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:335:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:334:in`each’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:334:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:76:in`active\_gem\_with\_options’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:50:in `gem’  
from c:/ruby/bin/rails:15

And this when I try to start a server for an old project:

“1992”  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:377:in  
`report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem activesupport (= 1.4.4) (Gem::LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:309:in`activate’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:335:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:334:in`each’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:334:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:76:in`active\_gem\_with\_options’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:50:in `gem' from ./script/../config/boot.rb:23 from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`gem\_original\_require’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`require' from ./script/server:2 from -e:2:in`load’  
from -e:2

I guess it has a simple solution. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

From a shell prompt, try: gem install activesupport  
If you are still getting errors, you may be missing other  
dependencies. Try reinstalling rails with: gem install rails --include-  
dependencies

Thanks Matt! Yep, I ended up having to reinstall rails. I thought it  
would be a path issue. Now the servers start and apparently new projects  
can be created properly.

Cheers!
