Greg,

I think the fix for that is to set the location of your Ruby installed  
interpreters in the preferences dialog. HTH.

You also need to setup where you rails and rake gem folders are located.

I’m pretty sure I had tried that. I use instantrails and pointed to the  
appropriate areas in this install area.

Would it be possible for someone to post the exact settings for these  
items  
then I’ll go and have another crack at this. e.g. will confirm which  
directory exactly they were after (parent versus bin etc)

Tks

Works nicely.

Radrails was too slow, when used through network. I have used Jedit  
also,  
again slow.

I am quite satisfied with, [http://www.ruby-ide.com](http://www.ruby-ide.com)

I’ve always thought Arachno looked promising. My major problem with it  
(I’m  
a Linux guy):

I just come across Komodo ([Komodo IDE By ActiveState - One IDE for All Your Languages](http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/)),  
personal version $25 - anyone tried this? Wonder how it compares with  
RadRails?
