Answer 1

Maybe you installed two or more version of rails and railties.

gem uninstall railties
gem uninstall rails

then reinstall.

Answer 2

I ran into this same issue. If you're using RVM it's possible you switched to the wrong Ruby version which causes a gem load error if the directory uses a different version than the one you are currently set to use.

To fix, type rvm use -yourrubyversion in the app's directory in terminal. For example, if your app is set up to use ruby 1.9.3 type rvm use -1.9.3.

RVM works by separating your gems by ruby version by app, so if you switch to a different ruby version RVM will separate previously used and installed gems from the different ruby version, which is why you may be seeing tho issue.

Answer 3

Uninstalling ruby, and railsinstaller and then installing railsinstaller again worked great for me!

Answer 4

I got the same error when I installed ruby 1.9.3p194

and then I reinstalled ruby and rails

Answer 5

It means your Rails installation is corrupted or incomplete. If you list your gems, chances are you won't find railties

$ gem list

Run the command

$ gem install rails

again. It will download and install missing dependencies, including railties.

Answer 6

rvm implode was the answer. Something probably went wrong before, now everything works after a rvm reinstall.
