I am trying to install RubyGems 1.8.22 and Rails 3.2.3 on Red Hat 4.4.6-3. I used RVM, and the precise sequence of commands is attached as well as my ~/.bashrc file.

Evidently my installation didn't work. Here is the output of rails --version.

/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:926:in report_activate_error': Could not find RubyGem rails (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError) from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:244:in activate_dep'

from /usr/bin/rails:18

Whoops, sorry. I meant to make the subject "Can't Install Rails."

Hello,

ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-linux]

export GEM_PATH=$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8

Are you using 1.9 interpreter with 1.8 gems?

I guess you'd better ask a question in ruby-talk.
Maybe people will tell you kindly :-)

"/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb" is not a path that RVM would create. I suspect your PATH is not configured properly. Please check which rails and ensure it matches the directory of your RVM install. You should be able to get help from ruby-talk or from the #rvm channel on chat.freenode.net.

Thanks guys. It turns out the fix was to delete every Ruby-related thing I could find on my machine and then reinstall what I wanted using RVM. I posted it as a bug rather than on the help forum the way it was crashing made me suspect that there might be some deeper problem going on. Yusuke, I was indeed using the 1.9 interpreter with RubyGems 1.8.
