[Rails] trouble with install of 2.3.9 due to rake requires version of ruby > 1.9

Ruby on Rails Tuesday, March 25, 2014

hey all

i am trying to install rails into a new computer with rvm.

i have installed ruby 1.8.7

and rubygems 1.3.7 --force

these are both versions that i must have to run my website.

the problem is that when i try to install rails with gem install --version 2.3.9 rails

i get the following error.

ERROR: Error installing rails:

rake requires Ruby version >= 1.9.

It's nuts, i have followed this exact procedure before, and it installed just fine.

in fact, my website is now running with 1.8.7 ruby, 2.3.9 rails, and with rubygems 1.3.7

any tips on how to get around this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
