Ruby on Rails

Hi Rick,
thanks! I tried carrying out those instructions: heres what i got -
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ which rails
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails


mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ which
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails

I suppose im having trouble with step 2 of your directions. However its
nice to have a kind of explanation of whats going on. Again, excuse my
illiteracy on this, but it look like maybe i do have rails installed in
my home directory?

**just discovered by accident I can do this:
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ which
/home/mwr/.rvm.gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ wc -l 'which rails'
wc: which rails: No such file or directory
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ cd ..
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$ which rails
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$ which /home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$ rails new path/here
