Just got ruby/gems/rails installed (OS 10.3), I’ve been able to login  
to the [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and see that I am at least doing  
something right…

When I try to run script/generate I get:

Grey-Box:~/sites/test shenry$ script/generate  
Rails requires RubyGems \>= 0.9.4. Please install RubyGems and try  
again: [http://rubygems.rubyforge.org](http://rubygems.rubyforge.org)

but I can confirm that my current gems version is 0.9.5… any help  
would be greatly appreciated by this n00b. Thanks.

Figured out the problem … I need to run $ . ~/.bash\_login before  
these commands or it thinks I have an old version of gems.

My .bash\_login file reads:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:  
$PATH"

How do I make Terminal run this script on login?

thanks for any help
