Hello all,

I have gem version 0.8.11 and rails version 1.2.6. When I try running  
the  
server using ruby script/server, I get an error  
“./script/…/config/boot.rb:23: undefined method gem for main:Object  
(NoMethodError)”

I tried updating the gems by gem update --system, but this gives an  
error  
“./libs/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27: in gem\_original\_require no such  
file  
to load --rdoc/rdoc (LoadError)”

Can anyone please help

–  
Regards
