History... before it went to heck... I have been working a project in Netbeans for a month. I did a gem update outside of Netbeans while I was installing ImageMagick and RMagick... I also had to remove one verson of ImageMagick to use the one compatible with RMagick. Everything was working well... then I went to migrate my DB back to start fresh again and I got : Malformed version number string mswin32 (ArgumentError) (LARGER TRACE) :/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/version.rb:182:in `initialize'': Malformed version number string mswin32 (ArgumentError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:105:in `new'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:105:in `version_for_dir'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:47:in `refresh!'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:45:in `each'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:45:in `refresh!'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ vendor_gem_source_index.rb:29:in `initialize'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ gem_dependency.rb:21:in `new'' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.4/lib/rails/ gem_dependency.rb:21:in `add_frozen_gem_path'' Now I can''t do anything... can''t run project... can do anything... Any thoughts? Did updating Ruby gems outside Netbeans screw everything up? I am happy to start fresh but can''t do a darn thing. I am at the point where I am going to restart the whole project and copy each file back individually!!! ahhh!! All other old rails projects work just fine. Thanks!
