Rails - Jun 2006 - gem install rails --include-dependencies fails

Hello,

    I''m very new to ruby, and don''t understand the following
error,
while trying to
auto-install rubyonrails via gem;


[root@svrlnweb02 root]# gem install rails --include-dependencies
/opt/rubygems/0.8.11/bin/gem:3:in `require'': no such file to load -- 
rubygems (LoadError)
        from /opt/rubygems/0.8.11/bin/gem:3

[root@svrlnweb02 root]# type gem
gem is hashed (/opt/rubygems/0.8.11/bin/gem)

[root@svrlnweb02 root]# ls /opt/rubygems/0.8.11/bin/
gem  gem_mirror  gem_server  gemwhich  generate_yaml_index.rb  
update_rubygems

[root@svrlnweb02 root]# type ruby
ruby is hashed (/usr/local/bin/ruby)


Can you advise ?


Best Regards,
