Can anyone tell me what’s wrong here please?  
I can’t seem to find the same problem elsewhere.

I’ve pasted in path and version numbers in case it helps.

E:\>gem -v  
0.9.0

E:\>ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]

I’m not sure why it’s throwing the error, but it looks like  
everything got installed. Have you tried just running 'rails  
’ to see if it works?

Thanks Mat. I had tried that and it spat it out!

Anyway, 3 seconds ago I got it sorted.  
I ran  
e:\ruby\>gem install rails --include-dependencies  
Note the extra -

It all worked. Hooray!
