There are lots. (But you shoul really be using PostgreSQL anyway -- it's a much better DB.) > I > followed one to install ROR That could be part of your problem. Did you follow Hivelogic's guide to installing Rails? If so, you wasted your time. Mac OS developer tools include perfectly usable versions of Ruby, RubyGems, and Rails; the Hivelogic tutorials started at a time when this was not the case.

You should not have to. However, you will get better help if you don't whine. :) Also, it is possible to do development in many PHP frameworks without really understanding the system you're working with. It is perhaps a bit less possible in Rails. On balance, that's probably a good thing. > > Peter Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
