Rails Gem bundler not installed - even after I install it

Question

For a Rails app, I tried running $ bundle install. But, even after I ran $ gem install bundler, I got the same message.

this is what happened:

Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
Davids-iMac-2:213calendar davidburton$ bundle install
ERROR: Gem bundler is not installed, run `gem install bundler` first.
Davids-iMac-2:213calendar davidburton$ gem install bundler
Successfully installed bundler-1.3.5
1 gem installed

rvm list

rvm rubies

   ruby-1.9.2-p290 [ x86_64 ]
=* ruby-1.9.3-p374 [ x86_64 ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default

What kind of ruby environment do you have set up? Are you using rbenv, rvm or something like that? and what does "gem list" and "which ruby" print out in the console? — Matthias, Sep 13 '13 at 16:35

Check your home directory for a ~/.bash_profile file.

If it exists, and you don't remember creating it, copy its contents to ~/.bashrc and remove the .bash_profile file completely.

By default, rvm appends the commands for updating path with rvm function in .bash_profile after rvm installation. Ubuntu, at a time only uses .bash_profile if it is present, or .bashrc when .bash_profile is absent. This results in PATH not being correctly set, and the gem, even though installed, is not detected since it is not on your path.
