Hi,

windows7 64 bit

gem 1.3.7

while I issue “gem install rails” command, I got the output

ERROR: Error installing rails:

rails requires activesupport (<= 3.0.3, runtime)

it’s a problem that shouldn’t happen.

anyone know the answer?

thanks.

HI,

Check if you have installed Ruby Gems. If not do it from the site: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126. Run the setup.rb file once you extract that package. To install other gems you need to see whether you have install Ruby Gems first.

In case you have you have certain dependent gems which you need to install first may be. For gems refer to the site: http://rubygems.org/. .As in your case you would require to install a version of activesupport gem , version less than or equal 3.0.3. You also need to search for and install a gem by the name 'runtime' from the same site of ruby gems. Once you install these gems, then try installing Rails.. It should work..
