I think you might have missed out the step where you create a valid
rails
application.

After all the gem installs, you should be able to enter:

rails myapp

and that command will set up a valid rails directory.

You should possibly make sure you understand how the rails command works
first,
and use the ‘mongrel_rails start’ and ‘mongrel_rails stop’ commands
while
learning Rails.
