Hi,

I am very new to ruby and I have encountered some problem in starting up  
the  
webrick server. I used the command ruby script/server webrick -e  
production and  
I encounter with the following error.  
C:\Redmine\redmine-0.9.4\>ruby script/server webrick -e production =\>  
Booting  
WEBrick =\> Rails 2.3.5 application starting on  
http://0.0.0.0:3000C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:636:in  
`report\_activate\_error’:  
Could not find RubyGem hoe (\>= 1.3.0) (Gem::LoadError)

Anyway I tried with several options such as without the -e part and etc.

What is this missing RubyGem hoe thing?

How can I get through this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks,  
Regards,

rubygems is a package management system for ruby libraries, and you’re  
being told that a library is missing.  
You can install gems with gem install gem\_name
