uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper

Hi All,

I just wiped out my hard drive, did a fresh install of os x 10.5, and upgraded to rails 2.3.2. i installed the mysql pkg for os x, and created the databases i needed for the project i was working on before the upgrade.

However when i run rake db:migrate to run my migrations i get this error

uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper

I've found some stuff about the AssetTagHelper, but i haven't found anything related to this error when running the rake db:migrate.

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on, or link me in the right direction?

Thanks, John

I've made some progress since this post. I've installed ruby and rubygems from source, and now when i run rake i get this error:

Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4 (you have ). Please `gem update -- system` and try again.

For some reason boot.rb can't find which version of rubygems i have installed, but i have 1.3.1 installed.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, John

Sorry, that was not the cause of the error, it was overriding some Date and DateHelper methods to translate months and days.
