Error when using generator

I’m not sure what I’ve done - may have tried to roll my own on some
things
and missed some dependencies? Not sure. I thought it might have been
something with my ubuntu install but I finally talked the boss into a
macbook the other day and the results are the same on the mac so that
wasn’t
it. I plan on rolling it back incrementally in git and see when it went
sideways as a first step to tracking it down (in a clone repo of course

  • I
    love git)

If you have any advice on this I’m all “ears”.

Thanks.

--------------- end of paste

it looks like i got this fixed. I walked back into my git repo until
i found a commit that didn’t have
the error. as it turned out the problem was with the prototype gem.
i had it in the Gemfile as gem ‘prototype’
after googling etc I found that changing it to gem ‘prototype-rails’
did the trick. seems to be working now!
thanks again…
