I’m on ubuntu 8.04 and I’m using netbeans 6.1 with native ruby option. root@castor-laptop:/home/castor# gem --version 1.3.0 root@castor-laptop:/home/castor# ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux] I’m able to run scripts/console from command: root@castor-laptop:/home/castor/projects/Aflus# script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.1) > > but when I try to run the same from netbeans rails console I get this: _Missing the Rails gem. Please `gem install -v= rails`, update your RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Rails version you do have installed, or comment out RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed._ I checked the configuration of the ruby platform[http://www.flickr.com/photos/82684024@N00/2924249923](http://www.flickr.com/photos/82684024@N00/2924249923)and it looks fine… Any idea? ---

Check your version numbers again, and check `which gem`. ---

Also, can you not only look at the Ruby platform (which the flickr picture showed), but to right click on your project and open the Properties dialog, and see/confirm that the project is using this platform? You can have multiple platforms available, and each project is assigned one of them (this is assigned when you create the project, there’s a combobox). It sounds like you may be using JRuby instead of native ruby for this project. In any case, it may be worth to post to the Netbeans Ruby users forum in case this or Eric H.'s suggestion don’t help. -ps ---

Pablo, you might post to the Netbeans Ruby forum too, just in case this is Netbeans related. The URL is [http://forums.netbeans.org/ruby-users.html](http://forums.netbeans.org/ruby-users.html) hth -ps
