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!

…Anyone?

When i uses this prompt “Gem uninstall i18n-0.5.0”

it renders this…

“cannot uninstall, check gem list-diln8-0.5.0”

Thanks Hassan!!! for your reply/ help!

i forgot the (-v) bit

I have deleted that version of gem now.

What was the problem with the instructions you quoted?

gem uninstall i18n

Select gem to uninstall

  1. i18n-0.4.2
  2. i18n-0.5.0
  3. All versions

select 2

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

HTH,
