I get this error below when running :make in my macvim editor :!rake 2\>&1| tee /var/folders/vb/vb1WTMY3ERGWQBNjCq03fk+++TI/-Tmp-/v802427/3 Rails requires RubyGems \>= 1.3.1 (you have 1.0.1). Please `gem update --system` and try again. (in /Users/musdev/peepcode/my\_blog) (1 of 1): (in /Users/musdev/peepcode/my\_blog) But when I type gem --version in my terminal it says I have the latest 1.3.4 Is something possibly wrong with my set up somewhere?

Likely the path for vim is not the same as the path for your shell. :!gem env and :!echo $PATH vs gem env and echo $PATH will help you figure it out. > **···** > > On May 31, 2009, at 16:41, Zayd Connor wrote: > > > I get this error below when running :make in my macvim editor > > > > :!rake 2\>&1| tee > > /var/folders/vb/vb1WTMY3ERGWQBNjCq03fk+++TI/-Tmp-/v802427/3 > > Rails requires RubyGems \>= 1.3.1 (you have 1.0.1).
