Hi,  
I’m running Windows XP SP2 with Java 1.6.0 an am getting the above  
mentioned  
error message when I try and run rails, to create a project, from the  
command prompt:

c:\>rails project\_name

I have placed c:\pgRails\bin directory in my system environment path.  
Can  
anyone tell me what I may be overlooking here?

–  
Regards

Andrew

Hi Ivor,  
please see my responses below:

1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12)

what version of rails -\> gem list
