Howdy, I’m new to RoR and am learning the ins-and-outs. While installing a simple blogging app ([simplelog.net](http://simplelog.net)) I got the error below. I searched around the forums a bit and what I found leads me to think this isn’t an app-specific issue, but rather some kind of larger issue that’s affecting a number of people. Any help would be appreciated… Thanks, B. C:\rails\SIMPLE~1.1\>rake --trace simplelog\_quick\_setup c:0:Warning: require\_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead.
