Rails - May 2009 - Gem Trouble

No idea what I''ve done, I have not upgraded anything or installed new
gems but if I issue a command such as gem list, rake features, rake
routes or try and create a new rails project, I get the error
messages:

Using OSX.

Any thoughts? Many thanks,

Mike

I''m fairly sure if I enter which gem, the wrong directory is
returned.  Any idea how to change this?
Mike

the problem is in fileutils - a part of osx. so you have to repair it in 
order to get gem work...
