Hi all,  
issuing the command “$rake gems” in a rails-application folder leads  
to the error “no such file to load – initializer”  
I am on centos5.2, ruby 1.9.2.p0, rubygems 1.3.7, rails 3.0  
irb → require ‘rubygems’ =\> false

echo $GEM\_PATH leads to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1  
gem environment leads to

RubyGems Environment:

- RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7 - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.2 (2010-08-18 patchlevel
