You have 2 ruby installs (one in /opt and one in /lib) and you are installing gems into one install but then running rake from the other one. You could either get rid of one of the installs or make sure that your /opt ruby has rake installed and that $PATH is such that ruby/ rake/gem are all picked from the same ruby install.
