I’m using Rails 2.3 and Ruby 1.9.1 on OS X 10.5, and some simple things  
are failing. I can’t believe I’m the only one who has encountered these  
issues, so if anybody else is using the same tool versions, would you  
please give a shout?

I don’t believe it’s supposed to work on Ruby 1.9 yet.

2.3 is only an RC and ruby 1.9.1 is rather cutting edge so a few  
issues are out there (hence why it’s an RC)

Thanks; I guess I’m breaking new wind here.

Fair enough. I went with 2.3 because that’s what the Rails Guides  
cover. I chose 1.9 because it’s supposedly a pretty major upgrade.

I’m willing to deal with a few issues; in fact, it would probably be a  
great learning experience to find & fix a few bugs. At least this  
explains why I’m not seeing reports of other people having the same  
problems.
