rookie to RoR here and also experiencing errors with
$ruby script/server
When I execute the above command, instead of WEBrick starting up, I get an error message:
./script/../config/boot.rb:29: undefined method 'gem' for main:Object (NoMethodError) from script/server:2
I have ruby 1.8.4 installed, rubygems 0.8.11, and Rails 1.2.3
Update your rubygems to >= 0.9.0
sudo gem update --system
I was also pleased to get MySQL running so easily on LINUX (this is SUSE Enterprise Desktop 10 from Novell).
I could probably find another way to start up WEBrick, but I prefer to use the above command.
Note: This "ruby script/server" command was performed from a directory named "shovell" that was created using the "rails shovell" command from my home directory, and it appears that the associated Rails application directories were cleanly created by "rails shovell". This is discussed in Lenz' book on RoR Web Applications.
Greatly appreciate in advance your valuable time in reading this and any assistance you can give.
