If you happen to run across the following error:

host:/somedir# RAILS_ENV=production script/console
Loading production environment.
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/console.rb:25:in `exec': No such file or directory - irb -r irb/completion -r script/../config/../config/environment -r console_app -r console_with_helpers --simple-prompt (Errno::ENOENT)
from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/commands/console.rb:25

from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
from script/console:3

The following fix might help (as root):

# cd /usr/bin
# ln -s irb18 irb
