Probably due to your PATH. I’ve written my own howto at

Its pretty screwy on Mac OS X 10.4, so I chose to use Locomotive:

Is everyone really having troube with this???
Install Xcode Developer Tools 2.2
Install darwin ports from
http://darwinports.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.2.1-10.4.dmg.
Then type in the commands
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install ruby
sudo port install rb-rubygems
sudo port install rb-rake
sudo gem install rails
Then I just have to create the file /Users/jgb/.profile and add the
line:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
Set this up on 3 macs with the latest OS X without a problem.

you might want to install rake via gem rather than darwinports which is
still serving up version 0.4.15 - looks like a few things were fixed
since
then =)

james duncan davidson’s article has some interesting
commentary/recommendations on which items to install via darwinports and
which via gem:
