    copied!<p>I am having problem with setting PATH variable in Ruby on Rails. Constraints are: I have to use Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.2.2 and Rubygems 1.3.5. These are the outputs of commands:</p> <pre><code>hemant@hemant-laptop:~$ which gem /usr/bin/gem hemant@hemant-laptop:~$ which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby hemant@hemant-laptop:~$ which rails /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rails hemant@hemant-laptop:~$ gem env RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.5 - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i486-linux] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.8 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.8 - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-linux - GEM PATHS: - /var/lib/gems/1.8 - /home/hemant/.gem/ruby/1.8 </code></pre> <p>I have added these lines into my <code>.bashrc</code> file:</p> <pre><code>export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/gem </code></pre> <p>When I echo PATH variable:</p> <pre><code>hemant@hemant-laptop:~$ echo $PATH </code></pre> <p><code>usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:bin:/usr/games:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/bin/gem</code></p> <p>Real problem is that when I run <code>script/server</code> in my rails app directory, It errors:</p> <p><code>./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/vendor_gem_source_index.rb:1:in 'require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError)</code> </p> <p>When I googled it, I got to know that it is due to flaw in <code>PATH</code> variable configuration, but I can't understand what value I should give to it. The above two <code>export</code> statements are just hit and trials but they didn't solve the problem.</p> <p>Can someone please guide me what value <code>PATH</code> must be set to and how one can deduce the value from outputs of various commands.</p> <p><strong>[EDIT]</strong> </p> <p>Running <code>gem list</code> gives this:</p> <pre><code>actionmailer (2.2.2) actionpack (2.2.2) activerecord (2.2.2) activeresource (2.2.2) activesupport (2.2.2) chronic (0.10.2) diff-lcs (1.2.4) image_science (1.2.1) libv8 (3.16.14.3) mysql (2.9.1) rack (1.5.2) rails (2.2.2) rake (0.8.7) ref (1.0.5) rspec (1.2.9) rspec-core (2.14.6) rspec-expectations (2.14.0) rspec-mocks (2.14.4) rspec-rails (1.2.9) rubygems-update (2.1.10) therubyracer (0.12.0) ZenTest (4.3.0) </code></pre>
