installed ruby ver 1.9 but not working with rails 2.3.2

Thanks for the lesson greg.

Maybe i wasnt using the correct terminlogy, that having been done by years of explaining such concepts to people that dont know what binaries are and english not being my first language.

Nevertheless, VS is using one version of ruby with one set of gems and running the other version which doesnt happen to have those set of gems, and this happened by following your advice. That is what i was trying to say.

so, here are my 2 cents. use defaults for starters, dont go for the installing in som/weird/place/, have one version of ruby and one set of gems, like this you are less likely to run into these problems.

That's all together not necessary. I suspect all of my development systems have two ruby installs. I ignore the one that came with the system and install my own whereever I want. I update my bashrc so it knows about my intentions and that's about it.

The problem here is that's not what happened. Rather than using bashrc etc.. to put one install of ruby ahead of the other, ruby1.9 was renamed to ruby without gem1.9 being renamed to gem (and similarly for all other ruby related binaries (eg irb))
