rails on osx-says it's installed but isn't

[blackwater dev]

After some work, I finally got ruby gems to install on a mac osx
installation. I then did the sudo gem install rails --remote and
everything seemed good...

I then go to create a project but get an error:

-bash: rails: command not found

Why does it think that rails isn't installed?

Thanks!

Anyone have any ideas on this?

You should have a look on your PATH-variable. probably root doesn'not know
where to find the rails script.

try
echo $PATH

for root and your normal user. Maybe you just have to add the rails-path to your
path with:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/rails

It's quite insecure to run a web-applecation as root.

Is the rails command in you $PATH? What is the result of the
following command in the terminal?

echo $PATH

Make sure your path contains /usr/local/bin. You could also try to
call rails with its full path. depending on where you install things
it should be in one of 2 places: either /usr/bin/rails or /usr/local/
bin/rails

Check out both of those places and see where the rails command is
actually located and then make sure that it is in you $PATH by adding
it to your ~/.bashrc or equivalent file.
