Gem Trouble

Rails
1

No idea what I’ve done, I have not upgraded anything or installed new
gems but if I issue a command such as gem list, rake features, rake
routes or try and create a new rails project, I get the error
messages:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/

Using OSX.

Any thoughts? Many thanks,

I’m fairly sure if I enter which gem, the wrong directory is
returned. Any idea how to change this?

the problem is in fileutils - a part of osx. so you have to repair it in
order to get gem work…
