Rails - Nov 2010 - Can't run tests...illegal switch in RUBYOPT: -F (RuntimeError)

Does anyone have any insight into why this is happening?

(in C:/Users/Family/workspace/myapp)
C:/Program Files/Ruby187/bin/ruby.exe: illegal switch in RUBYOPT: -F
(RuntimeError)
C:/Program Files/Ruby187/bin/ruby.exe: illegal switch in RUBYOPT: -F

Thanks to this guy here ...

(you should donate! thorough rails 3 documentation would be great!)

...I came to an answer.

My problem was that I''m on Windows, and I installed ruby in the
program files directory.  big mistake.  the "F" is getting interpreted
because of the space in "Program Files"!
I had to reinstall Ruby right in C: like i should have (so it''s C:/
Ruby).  This also meant I had to reinstall RubyGems and Rails, but
hey, you have to tear a building down if it was built wrong in the
first place.

Thanks again to Ryan Bigg.
