I installed ruby 1.9.3 thru RVM, and now want to get the rekyll gem so that I can test my blog locally. When I gem install jekyll it intalls ok, but when i try to run jekyll --server i get an error:

/Users/matt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find jekyll (>= 0) amongst [bigdecimal-1.1.0, io-console-0.3, json-1.5.4, minitest-2.5.1, rake-0.9.2.2, rdoc-3.9.4] (Gem::LoadError)
    from /Users/matt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:256:in `to_spec'
    from /Users/matt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:1231:in `gem'
    from /Users/matt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/jekyll:18:in `<main>'

I Can see it in the list when I gem list – any ideas what is wrong?

I also tried RVMSUDO gem install jekyll to no avail.

If it’s any use at all, my rvm info:

    rvm use 1.9.3@test --create – Use & created gemset.

    gem install jekyll – Install the gem.

    The most important step was to use ruby rvm use 1.9.3. RVM by default should use and set default first installed ruby.
