I’ve been trying to get my old rails app (environment.rb tells me it was  
1.1.6) working under 2.0.2 and I’ve been having a hell of a time. Trying  
to start up webrick nets me this:

kyle@sublime-porte:~/code/Ruby/midnet$ rails script/server  
create  
File exists - /home/kyle/code/Ruby/midnet/script/server  
ln: accessing `/home/kyle/code/Ruby/midnet/script/server/vendor/': Not a directory ln: accessing`/home/kyle/code/Ruby/midnet/script/server/vendor/rails’:  
Not a directory  
ln: accessing `/home/kyle/code/Ruby/midnet/script/server/doc/api’: Not a  
directory

This never happened before. I don’t know why it’s looking in the  
(non-existent) vendor folder for the rails files, when I’ve got rails  
already installed in the correct place. I gathered that by ‘freezing’ my  
rails app I force it to look locally for the files it needs- but I never  
froze anything. This happens for script/about, script/console, and the  
rest. I’ve made no changes at all to the code since it last worked a few  
months ago.
