you don''t actually need the "jquery-rails" gem. you might
have to report to
the gem''s author about this. : )

so, basically, you should be fine once you remove the "jquery-rails"
gem
from your Gemfile.

use jquery.min.  So it seems to me that the code from my app
(config/application.rb) isn''t applied. Although this should be possible
to do.
