OK, so I used ./scripts/generate to generate a model, and then I entered the db/migrate/ and edit 001xxxx.rb so I can populated the database. After I entered some ruby code to have the file 001xxx.rb to generate some columns for table in db later, then I do rake1.9 db:migrate to generate table and columns. Instead of getting the task to be carried out, rake complained: rake1.9 db:migrate (in /home/powerone/My\_Rails\_01/myapplication) Missing the Rails 2.3.2 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.3.2 rails`, update your RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION setting in config/environment.rb for the Rails version you do have installed, or comment out RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION to use the latest version installed. I went into config/environment.rb and saw that RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION is indeed has 2.3.2 as parameter. I do rails -v and got Rails 2.3.2 at the prompt Then I went to do sudo gem1.8 update --system and got response as nothing to be update. I went back and do rake1.9 db:migrate, and I got the same error. I even do rake1.9 -T and got the same error. I did rake1.9 --help and it works by showing help commands. Then I did rake1.9 -V and got back as “rake, version 0.8.0” How do I get my rake right so I can do rake db:migrate and other rake’s tasks? It seems that rake1.9 is misleading because when I did rake1.9 -V and I got back as rake version 0.8.0. Is this the real problem? And how do I fix it? Thanks… ---

Try rake1.8 db:migrate or gem1.9 list Or perhaps compare: gem1.8 env gem1.9 env Particularly the RUBY VERSION and the GEM PATHS and I think you’ll see the problem. -Rob Rob B.

By the way when I googled for this, I got no answer. Maybe I’m just not good with googling for ruby :(. I’m pretty sure I got what I want from a genius “Google” for other stuffs though, but not this time around! Any help will make my day! 🙂 Thanks… Going to sleep for now, peace out! hehehe Power O. wrote: > OK, so I used ./scripts/generate to generate a model, and then I entered > the db/migrate/ and edit 001xxxx.rb so I can populated the database. > After I entered some ruby code to have the file 001xxx.rb to generate > some columns for table in db later, then I do rake1.9 db:migrate to > generate table and columns. > > Instead of getting the task to be carried out, rake complained: > > rake1.9 db:migrate > (in /home/powerone/My\_Rails\_01/myapplication) > Missing the Rails 2.3.2 gem.
