When I want to create a Ruby on Rails project, I get the message below.
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:55: uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Dependencies::Mutex (NameError)

What has gone wrong? How do I to fix it?
In case you can't upgrade to Ruby on Rails 2.3.11 (and to expand on douglasr's answer), thread
must be required at the top of boot.rb
. For example:
require 'thread'
# Don't change this file!
# Configure your app in config/environment.rb and config/environments/*.rb
...
I was able to fix this by downgrading RubyGems to 1.5.3, since it happens with RubyGems 1.6.0+ and Rails < 2.3.11:
gem update --system 1.5.3
If you had previously downgraded to an even earlier version and want to update to 1.5.3, you might get the following when trying to run that:
Updating RubyGems
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
No gem names are allowed with the --system option
If you get that error, then update, so that it lets you specify the version, and then downgrade again:
gem update --system
gem update --system 1.5.3
