So, for anyone who remembers, I had a post a while ago about not being  
to get into console with Rails. I kept getting this error saying error  
with custom require. I tried uninstalling rails and reinstalling, using  
the latest and earlier versions. I uninstalled ruby and reinstalled with  
1.8.6. Tried 1.8.5. still nothing. Well, I am trying out this video game  
development framework called shattered ruby, and I can’t run ruby  
script/runner without getting a similar error.

C:\shattered\_apps\dirty\_ruby\>ruby script/runner

ll: 14001: This application has failed to start because the application  
configur  
ation is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The rails error, though shorter, still mentions the custom\_require.rb  
file
