I am currently nearing the end (hopefully) of a ruby versions nightmare on OSX… I ended up installing rubygems again. However one of my remaining problems is I am unable to start mongrel due to this error: /usr/bin/mongrel\_rails:9:in `require’: no such file to load – rubygems (LoadError) from /usr/bin/mongrel\_rails:9 I have searched around but cant find any clues about this. Any help very much appreciated! Thanks Adam ---
