It's unclear from what you wrote whether you also removed the Ubuntu
rails package, but if not, I'd recommend doing that as well and
installing rails as a gem, after you've followed Erik's advice.
The debian packaging of Rails (and therefore Ubuntu's as well) is a
bit of a hack. The debian guys aren't happy about where ruby-gems
puts its files so they don't package ruby-gems. Back when I had the
ubuntu/debian rails package installed, it looked like theyd they'd
actually rewritten the rails installer as a bash script!
