    <p>I'm going to start with the usual noob line, "I'm new to rails". Oh, and I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.4</p> <p>I've been following a bunch of guides to get set up, specifically these two <a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2010/02/08/installing-ruby-on-rails-passenger-postgresql-mysql-oh-my-zsh-on-snow-leopard-fourth-edition/" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="http://spyrestudios.com/setting-up-a-rails-development-system-on-mac-osx-snow-leopard/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. The guides are great, the reason I'm using the second one is because of RVM and the reason I'm using the first is for MYSQL.</p> <p>Anyway, when I started, I wasn't following the directions completely and so after I installed RVM, for some reason I installed rails with <code>sudo gem install rails -v 2.3.8</code> because thats the version I need. So... I realized I was using the system ruby, and wasn't taking advantage of RVM. What I did now was install Ruby 1.9.2 so I can install rails 3 and test it out, and I also installed 1.8.7 and rails 2.3.8 so I can use it for what I need it.</p> <p>Now, I'm trying to uninstall the gems from the system Ruby, but whenever I try to I'm getting this error:</p> <blockquote> <p>ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)<br> cannot uninstall, check 'gem list -d <strong><em>whatever gem I try to uninstall</em></strong>'</p> </blockquote> <p>Any ideas on how to remove rails and all these gems? I just want to start from scratch with RVM.</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>By running the command <code>gem list -d rails</code> I've located the gems in /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/18. Should I delete them manually?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
