Starting mongrel rails server error...

I have a new rails installation on a Mac and am running into problems when trying to start my mongrel server (mongrel_rails start). The application I'm working on was created from an older version of rails (windows); could that be the problem? If so, how can I resolve this? Any help is appreciated...

Are you sure you have the activesupport gem installed? Try:

sudo gem install activesupport

and then see if your server will boot up.

My initial thoughts were along those lines; maybe my installation was corrupt or I installed something in the wrong order so I uninstalled all gems and then uninstalled rails. From there I reinstalled rails from scratch.

This is only happening with this existing project. If I create a new project mongrels starts like a champ.

Does environment.rb nominate a particular version of rails to use (and
is that version installed?)

It does, 1.2.3 and I installed it via the gem command (sudo gem install rails -v 1.2.3). Still no luck.
