Rubber installed but isn't usable?

Question

I think there's something wrong with my setup.

I am trying to install Rubber following this guide: https://github.com/rubber/rubber/wiki/Quick-Start

It appears that I installed rubber correctly...

$ sudo gem install rubber
$ Successfully installed rubber-2.7.4
$ 1 gem installed

But I cannot invoke it...

$ rubber vulcanize complete_passenger_postgresql
$ /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find rubber (>= 0) amongst [actionmailer-4.0.3, actionmailer-4.0.2

I am confused. I use rvm and every gem should be stored inside ~/.rvm/gems. Why is the /usr/lib/ruby directory being involved at all?

Any help would be great

It seems that somehow your system's Ruby is used (`/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/`) and that it looks for the rubber gem in the wrong place. — Wukerplank, Mar 17 '14 at 20:28
I think so... is there some way of correcting it? I don't know much about linux shells but I can give it a good try if you can point me. My ruby itself is managed by rvm though: which ruby /home/evan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/bin/ruby — Evan Pu, Mar 17 '14 at 20:30
I'm no expert either... First find out which ruby you are using (maybe add the outputs of `ruby -v` and `which ruby` to your question). Then try repeat the process, but ensure you invoke `rvm use [your preferred version]` first. — Wukerplank, Mar 17 '14 at 20:35
Those seems to be in order though. I included more info in the original post. thx. — Evan Pu, Mar 17 '14 at 20:38

I got it!!

The problem is I was using rvm but I still prefixed my gem with sudo i.e.

gem install ...

and sudo gem install ...

has completely different environments. See this post: Why do "gem" and "sudo gem" have different installation directories?

I was installing via "sudo gem install" but I was invoking the rubber command without sudo.
