Very strange issue trying to get rails to work on OS X 10.8

I am encountering a very weird issue trying to get rails working on my system. Every time I try to run rails after installing it says I need to install. If someone could point me in the right path or give me some tips on how to further troubleshoot it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

$ rails 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.

Rails is here:

$ which rails
/usr/local/bin/rails

But calling rails doesn't work:

$ rails -v
Rails is not currently installed on this system.

That means bash doesn't have its path in your PATH variable.

To add it (assuming you're on a mac), issue

$ echo 'export PATH='/usr/local/bin:$PATH'" >> ~/.bash_profile

Then reload with 

$ source ~/.bash_profile

And see if it recognizes the rails command then.
