and that is my Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '2.3.5'
gem 'rake','0.8.7'
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'simple_form'
gem 'devise'

# bundler requires these gems in all environments
# gem 'nokogiri', '1.4.2'
# gem 'geokit'

group :development do
  # bundler requires these gems in development
  # gem 'rails-footnotes'
end

group :test do
  # bundler requires these gems while running tests
  # gem 'rspec'
  # gem 'faker'
end

You probably need to change your devise version, since this fetches from the master branch.

Try:

gem 'devise', '1.0.7'

script/generate devise:install Couldn't find 'devise:install' generator – Mostafa Hussein Aug 23 '13 at 02:36
Mostafa, the current instructions are for Rails 3/4 and above. In order to use it for Rails 2.3.x, you would need to select an earlier branch. Quick research showed that 1.0.7 works with Rails 2.3. So you probably need to hunt for instructions for that. :) – Benjamin Tan Wei Hao Aug 23 '13 at 06:36
