I thought I would just chime in to say that I was (seemingly) having the same problem as described by Prasanna, and the "sledgehammer" approach described by Colin has solved it for me.
The first time I had tried installing rails, I was following the guide on https://gorails.com/setup/ubuntu/14.04 which prescribes calling, curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable (without --rails), and calling "gem install rails" later. I'm not entirely sure why that borks things. My guess is that the script when called with --rails installs whatever magic package I was missing.
