I get the following error on installation:

gem install gemsonrails  
Successfully installed gemsonrails-0.4.3  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Errno::ENOENT)  
No such file or directory - getcwd

After it says it is installed via gem list --local but if I try to  
freeze a gem, I get the following:

rake gems:freeze GEM=activemerchant
