Cannot run "ruby script/server" rails/version (LoadError)

I am facing a problem starting the server for a ruby app built by somebody else. When I run the "ruby server/script" command, the following output is generated:

ruby script/server 
./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:7:in `require': no such file to load -- rails/version (LoadError)
    from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:7
    from ./script/../config/boot.rb:45:in `require'
    from ./script/../config/boot.rb:45:in `load_initializer'
    from ./script/../config/boot.rb:38:in `run'
    from ./script/../config/boot.rb:11:in `boot!'
    from ./script/../config/boot.rb:109
    from script/server:2:in `require'
    from script/server:2

I have looked, and looked and no solution seems in sight.

Specs:

Ruby 1.8.7, 
Rails 2.2.2, 
gem -v 1.8.25

EDIT:
After doing that, I still get the same error:

[dralexmv@archbang rubygame]$ ruby script/server 
./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:7:in `require': no such file to load -- rails/version (LoadError)
    from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:7


Versions: 

[dralexmv@archbang rubygame]$ gem -v

Rails 2.2.2 
[dralexmv@archbang rubygame]$ ruby -v

Downgrade your gem and try. Rails 2.X doesn't work with gem version greater than 1.5

sudo gem update --system 1.4.2
