Hi,

I am trying my first Rail apps. I had successfully created directory with this command

prompt \> rails library create create app/controllers create app/helpers ......

However when I tried to run the server, it gives such error:

prompt \> cd library prompt \> ls app components config db doc lib log public Rakefile README script test tmp vendor prompt \> ruby script/server ./script/../config/boot.rb:18:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from ./script/../config/boot.rb:18 from script/server:2:in `require' from script/server:2

Why was that? How can I resolve the problem? I am using: Rails 1.2.2

Hi,

```
Check whether ruby installed properly or not.I think problem must be there in ruby installation.

```

You need to install RubyGems:
