Ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907)

Rails

Hi, I am working on Windows XP and have install Ruby 1.9.1. After
extracting Ruby 1.9.1 to c:\ruby I was able to issue ‘ruby -v’ and see
that the intended version installs.

  1. When I tried checking the rubygems version with ‘gem -v’ I get the
    following error:
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rubygems-update-1.3.5/lib/rubygems/config_file.rb:39:in
    `new’: wrong number of arguments (5 for 4) (ArgumentError)

  2. When I tried doing a ‘gem update --system’ I get the same error.

Questions:

  1. Is it best to extract Ruby 1.9.1 into a fresh c:\ruby directory that
    is empty? Are you supposed to overlay it on a previous version, if so
    which version?

  2. What version of RubyGems is recommended for Ruby 1.9.1 and is there a
    way to install a specific Rubygems version rather than just getting the
    latest?

  3. What version of Rails is production ready for Ruby 1.9.1?

Thanks in advance, Calvin.

A fresh install. 1.9.1p0 is very old too; upgrade to the latest
patchlevel.

RubyGems is bundled with 1.9.1.

Rails has been 1.9 ready since 2.1. For best results, use 2.3.3 and
the latest 1.9.1 release.

Best,
