Hi, new to Rails, running my first app.

I built a small data base, just a mini blog type thing and created a  
scaffold for it. When I call the scaffold, I get an error saying the  
application can’t find getcwd. A copy of the error page is at:

> **[Pastebin.com - #1 paste tool since 2002!](https://pastebin.com)**
>
> Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

I’m running on Mac OS X 10.5.3. Rails version 1.2.6, Ruby version  
1.8.6.

I looked in the Ruby documenation and the Rails documentation and  
can’t find a getcwd method.

help!
