Can you explain why after doing a de-install of 2.3.8, ruby -v says no ruby? See above.
Try which ruby in Terminal to see if you don't in fact have a Ruby binary in your path. Then try locate ruby to find one. Correct your path as necessary, and try again.
If I reinstall Mac OS do you think that would make this go away and I could do a new install with just ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.2.2.
I think if you re-image this machine (which will leave you with Apple's Ruby 1.8.6), then go to the first chapter of version 3 of the Agile book (which does deal with Rails 2, and has a nice install section to it) you will be able to install the precise version of Rails you desire, by using sudo gem install rails -v 2.2.2. I believe Ruby 1.8.7 came well after Rails 2.2, so you would probably be chasing errors in Rails if you tried to run it that way.
But to reiterate what others have said over and over here -- RVM is designed from its very foundation to support precisely what you state you want to do. You have a 2.2.2 application you want to get up and running and start working on. We are all trying to reach out to you and offer the slender twig of RVM because we also suspect you want to do this without hobbling your machine to more modern versions of the Rails framework. Once you do get this application up and running, you're probably going to want to develop something else in Rails 3, and that requires at minimum 1.8.7 of Ruby.
