Hi,
I am very new to ruby and have hit a wall with the installation. I am
using a Mac OS X 10.4.11(Tiger). I got everything installed correctly
(Ruby Version 1.8.6, RubyGems 1.3.2, Rails Version 2.3.2, db adapter
sqlite3) and I was trying to work through the Agile Web Development with
Rails 2nd edition. There was an issue with scaffold being deprecated in
newer versions so I scoured the web to find a fix. I tried to uninstall
RubyGems 1.3.2 so that I could work through the book edition 2 with the
intention of installing the newer version later. However now when I try
to start the server I get the message
Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.1 (you have 0.9.2). Please `gem update
--system` and try again.
and when I try to update my gems or indeed run any other gem command I
get the error
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/source_index.rb:92:in
`load_specification': private method `specification_version=' called for

`manage_gems'

I'm really at a loss so any help would be greatly appreciated. Please
bear in mind that I am very new to Macs and Ruby.
Kind regards,
