Rails fails to install

I'm trying to install rails on a Mac but am getting some strange errors:

sudo gem install rails Successfully installed rails-3.2.3 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for rails-3.2.3... file 'lib' not found Installing RDoc documentation for rails-3.2.3... file 'lib' not found

rails --version Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type:

$ sudo gem install rails

You can then rerun your "rails" command.

Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

The solution to this problem seems to have been that I already had an install of rails in /usr/bin which was in my PATH first.

This "install" was simply a shell script which gave the output above saying it's not installed.

I removed this by hand and reinstalled everything - after some messing around fixing random errors that it produced and a small edit to my PATH, it seems to be working now.
