Hello.

I am running rails 3. I installed the rails gem. (OS Win7 64bit)

1. When I run rspec the command is not recognized, I could find it in  
the ruby/bin folder as well.
2. When I run autotest on a sample app (the one from chapter 3 from the  
[railstutorial.org](http://railstutorial.org)) I get something like this as an output:

> [@](#):
>
> loading autotest/rails
> 
> * * *
> 
> \<-2J\<-f

The output should be something like two successful tests.  
3. I installed autotest-growl and growl for windows… but when I run  
autotest nothing happens in growl.

Please, help 🙂

I mean ‘I installed the rspec gem.’

And of course, autotest.

Rails problems belong in a Rails forum.

This is a list for Ruby, the programming language. Many (perhaps most)  
people on this list have no particular interest in Rails.

I am really sorry. Mods, please, delete this topic.
