hi guys,

I just installed rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.9 on a new ubuntu karmic  
koala machine.

For some silly reason, when I run “script/server”, I got the following  
warning…

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails/  
gem\_dependency.rb:119:Warning: Gem::Dependency#version\_requirements is  
deprecated and will be removed on or after August 2010.

This is a fresh installation. Why is this error surfacing?

I assume you installed the latest version of RubyGems. I’m also getting  
this warning. As far as I can tell it’s not causing any problems, and  
the only way to fix it would be to fork Rails and fix it there.

So bottom line is, don’t worry about it unless it’s causing you  
problems. I expect this will get fixed in the next release of Rails.

Yep. Thanks for that but I find it weird because on my older machine  
which  
runs rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.8.7, it doesn’t happen.

I ran an fgrep on “vendor\_requirements” and it’s all in the vendor  
directory. I am not specifying it in my app files.  
This is messed up
