Hi,

I have just upgraded rails to version 1.2.2, however whenever I got to  
generate a controller I get the following error, any ideas?  
(im uisng instant rails on a windows)

C:\InstantRails\rails\_apps\uni\>ruby script\generate controller pages  
./script/…/config/boot.rb:29: undefined method `gem’ for main:Object  
(NoMethodE  
rror)  
from script/generate:2

thanks  
Scot
