error when using generator

I’m not sure what I’ve done – may have tried to roll my own on some things and missed some dependencies? Not sure. I thought it might have been something with my ubuntu install but I finally talked the boss into a macbook the other day and the results are the same on the mac so that wasn’t it. I plan on rolling it back incrementally in git and see when it went sideways as a first step to tracking it down (in a clone repo of course – I love git)

If you have any advice on this I’m all “ears”…

Thanks.

it looks like i got this fixed. I walked back into my git repo until i found a commit that didn't have the error. as it turned out the problem was with the prototype gem. i had it in the Gemfile as gem 'prototype' after googling etc I found that changing it to gem 'prototype-rails' did the trick. seems to be working now! thanks again..
