Things seem to have gotten worse for me. I had it working at one point
now i have installed everything from scratch again nad I get the
following error - i am running windows

I installed ruby 1.8.4-20 into c:\ruby
I then installed rails using gem insall rails -r -y
I have the preference in RadRails set correctly to point to these
directories but it seems as though it's looking for active record in a
different directory or something

Boy this sure is frustrating
