When I run rails “–version” I get this:

# rails --version

/usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:379:in `report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem activeresource (= 2.0.2) (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:311:in`activate’

System OS = CentOS-5.1

Ruby = ruby-1.8.5-5.el5\_1.1

Installed Gems:

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Is there a missing directory

in 0.9.5?

Yes, that is how I discovered that activeresource 2.0.2 had not been  
installed. Odd.

Yeah, funny how rubygems seems to update only the gems that are  
installed.  
If the updated gems have new dependencies, it doesn’t seem to grab them.
