Oops. I upgraded my Rails installation. I then noticed that the Ruby was an older version than what I saw on [Ruby-lang.org](http://Ruby-lang.org) so I download the MacOS X one-click installer and ran it. It didn’t seem to change the ruby version, but I decided I didn’t care enough to figure out why. Then this morning I tried the console. Oops. I ran the gem installer again to make sure the Rails installation was okay, or at least that all the gems were up to date. Still get the error. Hints?

i’d probably upgrade to ruby 1.8.5 first ---

The error is coming from readline lib. Search for hivelogic article on ror installation Sent from my iPhone ---

Okay, I went all the way through the hivelogic installation guide, which is beautifully written and really clear. I get: Coder-iMac:~/Desktop/formr colin$ ruby -v ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.10.3] Coder-iMac:~/Desktop/formr colin$ rails -v Rails 1.2.5 Coder-iMac:~/Desktop/formr colin$ But when I tried to run the console it complained: Coder-iMac:~/Desktop/formr colin$ script/console Cannot find gem for Rails ~\>1.2.4.0: Install the missing gem with ‘gem install -v=1.2.4 rails’, or change environment.rb to define RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION with your desired version. So I went into /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.4/environments/environment.rb and set RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION to be 1.2.5 but that seems pretty silly. And when I run the server in my application directory (~/Desktop/formr/ script/server) WEBrick starts up and the following is the information in the default page. (Oh. I don’t see a way to attach something. It reports 1.8.2 as the Ruby version and 1.2.4 as the Rails version.) Is this because the formr application was created with 1.2.4 and there’s some secret way to tell it to look for the new 1.2.5 version? And why doesn’t it find the new Ruby version yet? Thanks.
