RVM and Passenger: No such file to load - bundler

Question

I've seen other similar errors, but none of the solutions have worked for me:

On Snow Leopard, I'm using RVM with project-based gemsets. I have both Rails 2 and Rails 3 apps. When I use bundler with Rails 2 or with Rails 3, I get:

no such file to load -- bundler

In my Rails 2 apps that don't use bundler, I just get a message that Rails needs to be installed when it is.

My RVM install has a global gemset with REE version of Ruby.

$ rvm list

rvm rubies

=> ree-1.8.7-2011.03 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.8.7-p174 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-1.9.2-head [ x86_64 ]

$ rvm gemset list

The same is true of my Rails 3 projects.

Can anyone help with this? It sure seems like a path issue, but I can't figure out the problem.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Ah, one last place to look, and I found the problem. Turns out I still had some old virtual host settings for Passenger (using PassengerPreferencePane), and for some apps, I also needed to add the setup_load_paths.rb mentioned in the RVM/Passenger installation documentation.
