## I want to use rspec in my new project, but when install rspec, error occured. Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Have you frozen rails to vendor/rails?

Thanks for your reply.  
I have just solved the probelm. It seems that it could find the right  
gem.  
There are gems in both /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 and /home/  
xxxxx/.gems,  
I remove the /home/xxxxx/.gems and everything works ok.
