Alright, now its working kind of! After restarting the computer and using which rails i get the much more sensible looking path * /usr/local/bin/rails * running wc -l `which path` I get * 19 /usr/local/bin/rails *
so now navigating above my home directory I am able to use rails new like so: * mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$ sudo rails new blah/here * and it seems to work. now - i cant access my localhost, but thats a separate issue i think i can work out.
