>From your pastie: /usr/bin:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin/:/opt/local/bin:/Users/richard/bin/bin/:/usr/local/bin I would first remove '/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8' -- there shouldn't be any executables in that directory. Also, you've got duplicate directories in that PATH statement. Then this: richard-s-macbook-pro:restapp richard$ which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby richard-s-macbook-pro:restapp richard$ which rails /usr/bin/rails richard-s-macbook-pro:restapp richard$ which rake /usr/bin/rake If you type `ruby -v` is it the version you want? If so, I suspect you have a /usr/local/bin/rails, /usr/local/bin/rake, etc. but because /usr/bin is first in your PATH, they are not being used. Open a new shell and set your PATH to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin/:/opt/local/bin:/Users/richard/bin/bin (is that last "bin/bin" correct?) Then see what `which rake` produces. -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroe...@gmail.com twitter: @hassan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
