That is not how it should work. I suggest starting again using rvm to install rails. You don't actually need to get rid of anything you have already installed but it will do no harm to do so. The rvm install should take precedence over the existing messed up installation. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
