Hi,
I am a newb to RoR but finding it much more difficult than most people
maintain. I’m trying to follow a beginner’s tutorial and have
meticulously followed each step but keep running into problems. Just
in case, I have even tried everything on two different machines with no
luck.
(The tutorial is by Obie F. and can be found on page 14 of
http://www.ratio.co.uk/ov9pdf.pdf.)
My two machines are both Windows XP; for the first I installed
everything piecemeal (Ruby, Rails, MySQL, etc) and for the second I
used InstantRails. They both SEEM to be working in every way except
for the problems given below. I have searched numerous posts and sites
for some answers, but though people seem to be encountering these
problems no one has suggested a solution that works for me. PLEASE
help, if you can–I would so appreciate it!
ERROR 1: This is the error I get when trying to run a Ruby console (a
la page 19 of the tutorial). Interestingly I did not get this error
before starting the tutorial.
C:\user\example>ruby script\console
Loading development environment.

ERROR 2: This is the error I get when trying to run a generic test
(nothing customized yet) using rake (a la page 20 of the tutorial):

Does anyone have any clue what is going on? As I say, I have searched
numerous groups and sites and can’t find any answers to these two
problems. Please do help!
Many thanks in advance,
