InstantRails - Fail

Guess InstantRails is also not a solution.

One popup window shows :

Unknown(): (null): Unable to initialize module.
Module compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=1
PHP compiled with module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-safety=1
These options need to match

Built a trivial rails app to test the installation. Built 2 pages, each linked back to the other. Silly simple stuff. All appears to work.

Add a simple migration. Just a couple of fields in a single table.

ruby script/generate scaffold product title:string description:text

Good. That went well. Let's use rake to build a table.

rake db:migrate

Failure, again. Segmentation fault.

Wow, getting a functional rails environment on XP is a real bitch!

Next thought ... Netbeans includes Jruby, and a nice IDE. See if it offers an avenue to success.

To be continued ...
