There is a default ruby, which is incompatible with Rails, installed  
by default on Mac OS X under /user/bin.  If you just open a terminal,  
this is what you get.  If you type "which ruby" from the terminal it  
will tell you where it found ruby.

You need to start Locomotive, configure a Rails application, and then  
open a terminal for that app FROM Locomotive.  Then you will be using  
the Locomotive bundle ruby/rails.  In that terminal, if you type  
"which ruby" you will see the path to the Locomotive bundle version  
of ruby.  And the "rails" command will also be available.

Again, you need to start Textmate from the Locomotive app, if you  
want to configured to use the Locomotive bundle version of ruby.
