It appears that I’m able to install and update just about everything,  
however when i try and run rails [project] I keep getting this error  
message:  
Rails requires Ruby version 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) or later.  
You’re running 1.8.2 (2004-11-03); please upgrade to continue.

I have tried to run this (which appears to have worked, but not solved  
the issue):

I found this:

which recommends actually building ruby, but I haven’t seen others  
with this issue on the list, is this really what I need to do?

Just starting a new project after playing around with this on panther  
and would like to get back on track again.

That’s what I did. It’s painless. Dan Benjamin’s instructions are  
clear and easy to follow.

But first double-check that you have whatever new Ruby, gem and Rails  
you installed on your PATH, e.g.

$ which ruby  
/usr/local/bin/ruby  
$ ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.3.0]
