WARNING! Noobster Question on Radrails for OS X

Hi, I successfully installed Locomotive, mySQL and mySQL Admin, JavaRE, and Radrails on a quad G5 OS X 10.4.9.

I configured the Radrails correctly, I believe, pointing everything to the appropriate files in the Locomotive folder ( e.g. /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle/powerpc/bin/rails
for the Rails path).

However, when I click on the launch browser button with a new project already created, it first asks me if I want to start the server, at which I say yes. It then says “Starting server” and the barber shop thing keeps rolling, but the server never starts!

I’m wondering if Radrails has a bug…in my Googling I stumbled upon a post that seemed to imply that. I’m wondering if there is an alternative IDE that you all would recommend, perhaps TextMate? Though it’s a bit pricey for my budget…

Thank you for reading,

Daniel “Nuby”

I'd say go with Textmate, I use it everyday. It's quite simply, the bee's knees.

Seconded... Textmate is in-farking-credible. It's the first piece of demoware I have actully registered in ages. Locomotive has a ctrl- click -> "edit in textmate" menu item that launches the entire project in textmate. Textmate has a 30 day demo try it, I think you'll like it.

Ok...thanks for the suggestions...I'll give Textmate a go. Thank you thank you!
