Gem location problem from rake task

I have installed the following gem which is in my environment.rb.
However when I try to run a rake task, it gives the error:

environment.rb
config.gem “devise_invitable”, :version => ‘0.2.3’

$ rake mytasks:task
(in /home/allen/www/lines)
DEPRECATION WARNING: Rake tasks in vendor/plugins/paperclip/tasks are
deprecated. Use lib/tasks instead. (called from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.8/lib/tasks/rails.rb:10)
Missing these required gems:
devise_invitable = 0.2.3

You’re running:
ruby 1.8.7.249 at /usr/bin/ruby1.8
rubygems 1.3.5 at /home/allen/.gem/ruby/1.8, /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

Run rake gems:install to install the missing gems.

so I do “rake gems:install” and it installs.

$ gem env

HELP!

BTW when I do “gem list” the gem appears:
