    radiant --database sqlite3 "/home/tom/Ruby projects -

    command I'd tried earlier, from within that dir, and once again got:

Tom,
Apologies if you know/tried this already, but sometimes it's the simple things... What happens if you run the "radiant" command using the absolute path, e.g.

/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/radiant

...instead of switching to the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin directory?

Most UNIX installs don't put the current directory in PATH for security reasons, so while that may have been the radiant command you tried to launch, the shell may not have found it.

If that works, you can add the /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin directory to your PATH, and from that point on you should be good to go.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your Radiant adventures,
Rufo
Well [expletive deleted - several of them, in fact...]! That appears to have done it. I got a lot of output from that command, and it sure looks like the right sort of things happened.

I realize that being rather new to Linux there is much I don't know, but this latest piece of secret knowledge flabbergasts me. Why can't radiant use the same path all the other gems seems to successfully use? How could I ever have figured out this problem without your expert help? I couldn't, it's a good bet.

Now, my next big problem: it appears that I'm supposed to be Rails-cognizant, which I surely am not. I wish that had been made clear at the website. I'd still have come to this point, but would have studied up a bit beforehand. So...that's next. "You only need to create the "production" database..." Yeah, sure. I have no idea what that means. Yet. Onward.

Thanks again. Much appreciated!

T.
