Can't start script/server

Hi, I get the error saying that my rubygems are of a version to old for rails... But its not the truth (see the output below please).

$ ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux]

$ rails -v Rails 2.1.0

$ gem -v 1.1.1

#below is in an app directory, after successfully executing `rails app`

$ ruby script/server Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4. Please install RubyGems and try again: http://rubygems.rubyforge.org

Did anyone face the same problem? System is Ubuntu 8.04 i386

I followed this manual http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnUbuntu and everything seems to work now. Seems like I've been missing one of the packages or something, cuz otherwise I've been doing the same thing...

Probably just needed to udpate rubygems, which was part of that tutorial it seems :).

sudo gem update --system

Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4.

gem sez it's the right version. Is there some hidden thing to update behind that??
