Rails command not working

I am a complete newb to Rails. I got it installed and it seemed to
work, as I went through the Curt Hibb tutorials, and even got something
working a bit on my own. I bought the Rails book and now the rails
command has stopped initializing projects for me. I don’t even begin to
understand how this thing is configured since I’m a Ruby as well as
Rails initiate. Short of reinstalling it all over again, any advice on
where I should look?

I’ve made sure that MySQL is running, and this is what I get when I run
it for the depot command.

No depot directory is created though, so I don’t know what it is asking
me to overwrite. Weird. These are the versions of the gems I have
installed. I also have Ruby 1.8.2-15 installed. MySQL is 5.0. This is
all running on XP SP2.

[c:\dev\ruby\rails]gem list --local

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (1.1.3)

activerecord (1.13.0)
Implements the ActiveRecord pattern for ORM.

activesupport (1.2.3)
Support and utility classes used by the Rails framework.

fxri (0.3.2)

fxruby (1.4.3, 1.2.6)

Any advice appreciated.

Are you sure there’s nothing created in [c:\dev\ruby\rails]? Check again
where you ran the rails.

Also, a running MySQL service is not required by the rails command. It
just
creates the necessary files and directory structure for the rails app.

I have, several times. Unless it’s hidden (which I’ve run attrib -h on
everything) or for some reason it’s getting deleted (which no error
shows up).

I didn’t think so, but just to make sure.

Thanks for responding.
