Hi!

I’m running rails 2.3.8, confirmed by the prompt (rails -v)

I’m doing a project and on other occasions I have needed  
install nested forms.

I followed the steps  
([Ruby on Rails — Nested Model Forms](http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2009/1/26/nested-model-forms))

This steps:  
$ git clone git://github.com/alloy/rails.git  
$ cd rails  
$ git checkout origin/normalized\_nested\_attributes  
$ cd …/…  
$ ruby vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails .

And when i restarted webrick, this load rails 2.3.0 (that i didn’t  
install).

=\> Booting WEBrick  
=\> Rails 2.3.0 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)

Anyone know what relationship there is or how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Colin

Yes, this is the problem.  
In vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/version.rb i have this:

module Rails  
module VERSION #:nodoc:  
MAJOR = 2  
MINOR = 3  
TINY = 0

```
STRING = [MAJOR, MINOR, TINY].join('.')

```

end  
end

If the binaries belongs to version 2.3.0 should i replaced then for the  
binaries of 2.3.8.

Don’t feel that this is the correct…

I doubt if that would work. I suggest finding a better way rather  
than using this patch.
