I run bundle install, or bundle update, and it fails. I'm using RVM, so if I switch to Ruby 1.9.2, this works fine, but using Ruby 1.8.7 it fails.

Anyway, Rails 3.0 works with Ruby 1.8.7 (or at least it should)... Yes, you are right of course, and the error is actually saying > =1.8.7, which you have. Does it matter though, apart from acedemic interest? If it works ok for you using ruby 1.9.2 then just use that. Colin
