Rails: Command not Found after successful install

So I installed ruby, gems and rails - however whenever I type rails I get the rails: Command not found. error.

I did a dump of my local gems, which I'll include below

I also checked my gem environment setup (below)

 - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.24
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.3 (2011-10-30 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-freebsd8.1]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/local/bin/ruby
  - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin
  - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    - ruby
    - x86_64-freebsd-8
  - GEM PATHS:
     - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
     - /root/.gem/ruby/1.9.1
  - GEM CONFIGURATION:
     - :update_sources => true
     - :verbose => true
     - :benchmark => false
     - :backtrace => false
     - :bulk_threshold => 1000
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://rubygems.org/

and echo'd my $PATH variable /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin

I attempted to go into where the whereis command told me rails was installed

whereis rails
rails: /usr/local/bin/rails

and execute rails from there, again , I got rails: Command not found.

I am running FreeBSD on a VPS, and would like to learn some additional languages beyond PHP, but I can't seem to figure this one out for the life of me ... any help would be amazing.

Solution

I'm certain that your problem was caused by gems in the other gem directory, here:

/root/.gem/ruby/1.9.1

So for future readers, look in your other GEM PATHS.

(And then if that's wrong I'll update this answer appropriately.)
