[Rubygem on shared host] undefined method map for nil:NilClass

Rails
1

I can’t start my Rails even using a simple ./script/about (see error
output below).

My app is using Rails 2.1.0 on a shared host where rubygems (1.6.1) and
all application’s gems are installed in user directory.

It looks like if gem is looking at the wrong place to find its gems.

Config :

[silversurfer:/home/aidscompetence/communitylifecompetence.org/current]$
ls /usr/bin/gem ~/bin/gem
/home/aidscompetence/bin/gem  /usr/bin/gem
[silversurfer:/home/aidscompetence/communitylifecompetence.org/current]$
which gem
/home/aidscompetence/bin/gem
[silversurfer:/home/aidscompetence/communitylifecompetence.org/current]$
gem env

By the way, the file file_store.rb does exists :

[silversurfer:/home/aidscompetence/communitylifecompetence.org/current]$
ls
~/.gems/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/cache/file_store.rb
/home/aidscompetence/.gems/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/cache/file_store.rb

It’s loading rails from vendor/rails (since that’s what happens if that
folder exists). Is that what you wanted?
