The error indicates that Rails might not be installed. Perhaps you
copied your project over from XP and haven't yet installed Rails
under Vista?

The fact that require_gem is now obsolete is unrelated to this error -
that's just a warning and can be ignored.

Try "rails -v" on the command line.
Try "gem list rails" via the "RubyGems package manager" prompt to see
if the gem is installed.
