Hi All, Still can not install Rails.
I think it must be because I am doing a new install and not an upgrade. I wonder if the latest versions of rails no longer works when you do a manual install. My guess is the manual install requires the library paths to be present. But because this is a fresh update they are missing. Has anyone out there managed to do a fresh install of rails? I seem to be banging my head against a brick wall at present.
