To add even more confusion, the Ruby site listed several versions of 1.8.7, I'm on Windows and not all versions have one-click installer. Which version is the recommended one to use with Rails 2.3.2? Anyone knows? 7stud -- wrote: > Cali Wildman wrote: >> I know some of my libraries are gotta to get whacked but then I might >> not use them in my new project.
