This app is a web front end to a very large piece of other open source code that is written in Java. It is very database oriented and more than that I cannot say at this time... It should have been done in java, but it was not my call at that time. I want to get the app over to a mac to be able to demo the concept and to be a guideline (working prototype) for the eventual conversion. I have many, many years of software but I just do not get rails. I see no issue with SQL for example. I know rails is a religion to a lot of folks but for this app it is just not practical long term. Horses for courses. See how complicated this question got. I asked how can I get rid of all the other versions and simplify my environment and I got more complexity of rvm. Colin, correct I miss-typed Ruby is still there it is rails that does not show up in rails -v but gem list local thinks I still have it. And it looks like de-installing xcode does not remove ruby! Also, I never heard the term re-image in the context of Mac OS X. I suppose I am OK with ruby, it is the version I want. Maybe there is a directory that has all this rails and I can just delete it? Then reinstall. Can I just do a cmd-find rails and delete everything it finds? Also I have been looking for a programmer to convert this but it has not been easy and this is not my primary project. I just said, let me grab the app off the ubuntu before it goes away and smack here I am. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
