History… before it went to heck…

I have been working a project in Netbeans for a month. I did a gem  
update outside of Netbeans while I was installing ImageMagick and  
RMagick… I also had to remove one verson of ImageMagick to use the  
one compatible with RMagick.

Everything was working well… then I went to migrate my DB back to  
start fresh again and I got :

Malformed version number string mswin32 (ArgumentError)

(LARGER TRACE)

:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/version.rb:182:in  
`initialize': Malformed version number string mswin32 (ArgumentError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:105:in`new’

from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/  
gem\_dependency.rb:21:in `add\_frozen\_gem\_path’

Now I can’t do anything… can’t run project… can do anything…

Any thoughts? Did updating Ruby gems outside Netbeans screw  
everything up? I am happy to start fresh but can’t do a darn thing.

I am at the point where I am going to restart the whole project and  
copy each file back individually!!! ahhh!!

All other old rails projects work just fine.

Thanks!
