I think this just means that certain methods called in the application  
are currently deprecated (i.e., in a future release they won’t perform  
any action and may not even exist and hence raise an error). All the  
deprecation warnings shown there are warning you that in rails 2 they  
will be deprecated so as long as you are using rails \< 2 (i.e., rails  
\< edgerails) you won’t have any problem.

Does the app actually start? Are you using the latest release version  
of rails (1.2.3)?
