Hi,
I'm a total noob to Ruby and am following the pick axe book and
installing Ruby for the first time using the OneClick installer. I want
to us RoR 3.0 and it gives me errors with Ruby 1.9.1 and compatibility.
I was reading that you can use rvm to install Ruby versions but that
appears to only be for unix? What's the best way to install Ruby
1.9.2rc2 on my Windows7 machine?
thanks!

Not answering your question directly, but RoR 3.0 should also be
compatible with ruby 1.8.7.

Thanks Roger...

There isn't an installer for 1.9.2rc2. It's marked as Experimental. I
can download it but not sure what to do after that.

Brian,

Thanks! The book had recommended using at least 1.9.1 but there seems to
be alot of issues with that version so I thought I'd try to figure out
how to use the 1.9.2 that others have said solve many of those problems.
regards,
