Here is some help for the folks just learning Rails
I am following the Sitepoint book by Patrick Lenz "Simply Rails 2"
and received an error message when attempting to run the command
"rails shovell" to create a new rails application.
I got a load error.
Note:
remember to use a Ruby Console Window.
run the updates:
gem update
gem update --system
gem install rails
gem install Ruby
without installing rails you'll get an error as shown below.
error shown here:
