I decided to check out Dan’s awesome tutorial for RoR and I have a  
little problem…

The first part there, where you make sure the path is correct, I  
cannot get to work.

mate ~/.bash\_login

This does not work for me, although I have TextMate installed. It  
simply says “mate: command not found”.  
Did anyone else use these instructions for creating their local  
environment? I used Locomotive originally, but I want to use the  
Hivelogic tutorial this time.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks!

Try this in terminal.  
sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate /bin/  
mate

Or go into TextMate’s Help menu and choose Terminal Usage and click  
the Create Link button.

You meant LoL or RoR, really? LoL has a very good source of information  
for specific problems related to Hivelogic problems. It’s sooooo well  
done… almost like laughting at a midget’s face while he tries to  
change a bulb.

Yours truly,

Joshua

Sounds like Hivelogic to me!

Sincerely,

Richard,

Thanks! This command worked perfectly.

Now however, I am having another small problem…

I followed the instructions for installing Ruby Gems, which appears to  
have installed fine. Next, I am attempting to install Rails by using  
the following the command…

sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies

When I execute this, I get the following error…

sudo: gem: command not found

I am kinda stuck here as I am not familiar enough with the command  
line to continue. Any ideas on what may be wrong here that I can try?

Thanks!

You mean your ugly fat mother … I can understand why midget’s like you  
have problem behaving well in an open forum… the physiological trauma  
that  
you went through in your childhood. I can’t believe the state is not  
taking  
care of folks like after all the taxes we are paying.

Cheers
