[jruby-user] Missing files (or seemingly so)

I have been in and out of jRuby over the past couple of years and I got 
around to installing jRuby 1.7.16 on my IBM i (Power 6) box.  It is 
running Java 6 using the J9 JDK.  Installation went fine, smoother than 
usual.

But when I tried to run rails commands.  I got a series of Errno::ENOENT 
on various files.  The first was a ENOENT on 
'/home/PETE/.gem/jruby/1.9'.  I found a post that indicated adding that 
path would fix the issue as a workaround (and it did).    When I ran 
rails new /Path_to_App it seemed like the failures were due to an 
environment issue because it was looking for rails in /home/pete/bin, 
/usr/bin, /usr/local/bin although none of those folders were on the path 
(and I couldn't figure out why it would look for rails there anyway).  
My jruby/bin folder was on the path so I was mystified as to why it 
looked elsewhere for rails.  Again, a work around was to copy rails 
where it seemed to be looking (for whatever reason).

Here is what I see when I try to run rails:

rails new /RailsApps/NewDemo

Errno::ENOENT: ENOENT - /home/pete/bin/rails

Rather than just keep chasing these issues, perhaps someone can suggest 
what the root cause of the problem is.  I can't seem to find anything 
that points to a specific configuration step I missed.  Any help would 
be appreciated.
