Need installation help

I've installed RoR on Fedora Core 6, following closely the instructions on http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/howto/fc4rails/#installROR

When I try to launch RoR test app, I get an error: Cannot find gem for Rails ~>1.2.3.0:     Install the missing gem with 'gem install -v=1.2.3 rails', or     change environment.rb to define RAILS_GEM_VERSION with your desired version.

I get this either by "service lighttpd restart" or by simply     # ruby public/dispatch.fcgi

My config/environment.rb has RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '1.2.3' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

I tried to run with RAILS_GEM_VERSION=1.2.3.0 ruby public/dispatch.fcgi but am getting the same error.

The rails install ran just fine: # gem install rails --include-dependencies Attempting local installation of 'rails' Local gem file not found: rails*.gem Attempting remote installation of 'rails' Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Successfully installed rails-1.2.3 Successfully installed rake-0.7.3 Successfully installed activesupport-1.4.2 Successfully installed activerecord-1.15.3 Successfully installed actionpack-1.13.3 Successfully installed actionmailer-1.3.3 Successfully installed actionwebservice-1.2.3 Installing RDoc documentation for rake-0.7.3...

I'd appreciate any ideas. Dan

maybe Rails test app depends on 1.2.3.0. Try to create an app: rails testapp cd testapp/ && ./script/server

then start your browser and point it to http://0.0.0.0:3000

I've tried to gem install -v 1.2.2 rails and it started working.

I guess there's a bug in gem 1.2.3

Thanks, Dan
