rails console not working

Whenever I try to use the rails console, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/5y4hQNUU

I'm using Ruby 2.1.2p95 and Rails 4.1.1

I'd appreciate any help to get rid of the error. Thanks.

This looks to be an issue with readline. If you have readline installed, make sure you also have the development package installed. On YUM-based distros this would do it for ya:

yum install readline-devel

Same thing happened to me. Here's what worked for me.

I added the following code to my Gemfile:

gem 'protected_attributes'

And then I ran bundle in my terminal: treehouse:~/projects/treebook (master *) $ bundle

After that everything seemed to work.
