This seems to be a basic thing: run rails under ruby and execute the ensuing system. Every Ruby on Rails books or tutorial does this. Here’s what’s happening for me: First, here’s my version information: michael@isolde:~/Development/Rails$ rails --version Rails 2.0.2 michael@isolde:~/Development/Rails$ ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] Here are the gems I have installed: michael@isolde:~/Development/Rails$ gem list --local \*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\* actionmailer (2.0.2.9216, 2.0.2) actionpack

michael@isolde:~/Development/Rails/junk$ gem update Updating installed gems Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyonrails.org/](http://gems.rubyonrails.org/) Nothing to update I’m really stumped as to where to go from here. There’s no hint I can find as to what the problem actually is except that, obviously, something, somewhere is breaking a pretty much bog-standard Rails2 installation right out of the box. How do I go about debugging this? (Looking at the file that creates the error message shows me nothing meaningful.) ---

Try to uninstall edge rails and recreate the project. It seems the rails generator you called is from 2.0.2.9216 but the rails version that is executed with script/server is version 2.0.2.

That does appear to be the problem, but now instead I have a different problem: Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyonrails.org/](http://gems.rubyonrails.org/) Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/) Bulk updating Gem source index for: [http://gems.rubyonrails.org/](http://gems.rubyonrails.org/) ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteSourceException) Error fetching remote gem cache: Errno::EPIPE: Broken pipe reading [http://gems.rubyonrails.org/yaml](http://gems.rubyonrails.org/yaml) The ruby-on-rails gem site is borked. Again. Second time this month. (And why is it bulk updating twice on a single pass of gem?)
