rake assets:precompile error message: No such file or directory -- ruby

I'm following along to the excellent Michael Hartl Rails book (Rails 3.2) but am getting an error when attempting to run the command:

rake assets:precompile

The error is as follows:

/Users/Jamie/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/ruby ruby /Users/Jamie/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448@movies/bin/rake assets:precompile assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets

I was trying to run the rake command within ubuntu and was getting ruby_executable_hooks error. I resolved it with:

rvm all do gem install executable-hooks

I fixed this by reverting back from p448 to p392 and then running:

rvm ruby-1.9.3-p392@global do gem install executable-hooks

as suggested by mpapis here: Rake assets:precompile cannot find ruby

This seems to be an issue with 1.9.3-p448. Today I updated ruby from p392 to p448 on my server and started getting this error. I reverted back to p392 and precompilation of assets is working again.

Perhaps try installing a version before p448 and try again.

After working with this a bit more, I found that emptying and reinstalling my gems caused precompilation to start working again:

$ rvm gemset empty
$ bundle install
$ rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
