Rails - May 2006 - Syntax error when running dispatch.cgi

Hi,

when I execute dispatch.cgi at the command line, I get the following 
error message:

[cg@cg rails]$ ./public/dispatch.cgi
./public/dispatch.cgi:3:in `require'': 
./public/../config/environment.rb:8: syntax error, unexpected
''<''
(SyntaxError)
<%= ''# '' if freeze %>RAILS_GEM_VERSION =
''<%= Rails::VERSION::STRING %>''
 ^      from ./public/dispatch.cgi:3
[cg@cg rails]$

I was asked to install Ruby on Rails on a web server but I don''t know 
anything about ruby (...), so I''m not sure what it''s
complaining about.

cg.

What are the contents of your config/environment.rb? Sounds like maybe 
its got screwed somehow?

Mine has no ''<%='' in it at all.

Doesn''t look right to me :S

Mine says, with all the comments taken out:

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ''1.1.2''
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), ''boot'')
Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

end
