I was following a tutorial on ruby on rails and i get this error whenever i try to setup a rails project.

Any idea whats wrong?

Not sure, but it's possible that the project name might be causing the issue. Can you create a rails project with another name ?

Rails 1.1.6 that you seem to be using is not compatible with ruby 1.9 which you also seem to be using.

If you are just starting out with rails you really ought to be using the latest version, not an ancient version.
