In case anyone else has this problem, but the above doesn't work. Try running:

/bin/bash --login

then run

rvm use 2.0.0 #or whatever your version number is...

Not really sure what exactly your problem is. If you use rvm and have installed Rails with it, you may have to use

rvm use 1.9.3

(version number may depend on your installation). Then you may or may have not a gemset with this. So:

bundle install

should install Rails gem in this gemset. Maybe use 

rvmsudo bundle install

or just manually install the Rails gem. But this would partially depend on the Rails version expected by the app. There are other options, but this should mostly work.

For setting a version permanently you can use:

rvm use 1.9.3 --default

For this to work you must have something like this:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

in your ~/.bash_profile.

In addition you can have something like a .rvm folder in your project where you can set rvm options on a project level if you need to switch between versins often (didn't use this myself, but there should be docs on the rvm homepage)
