Hi everyone!
I'm trying to follow along the Build a Simple Ruby on Rails Application, with Jim Hoskins. And at about 9:00 in the video he adds twitter Bootstrap to the project.
So far I have followed exactly as he said. I'm guessing it's a problem with the version of Ruby or Rails that I have, (I believe that I'm using the latest version of both). Here is the error that I'm getting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all so much.

29,275 PointsI figured it out by adding the styles form the bootstrap.css to the scaffold.css.scss file. Thank you both so much for your time!

gem 'bootstrap-sass', '2.3.2.0'
in your gem file and the version number you want (2.3.2 is whats used in the videos I think. then you can include the bootstrap css by including
@import "bootstrap";
at the top of your CSS file
