I am having a strange issue where when I try and run vagrant up the system can suddenly not find the json gem. When I run vagrant up I get this message:
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find json (~> 1.5.1) amongst [Platform-0.4.0, archive-tar-minitar-0.5.2, builder-3.0.0, bundler-1.1.5, childprocess-0.3.5, cucumber-1.2.1, diff-lcs-1.1.3, erubis-2.7.0, ffi-1.1.5, gemcutter-0.7.1, gherkin-2.11.2, git-1.2.5, hiera-0.3.0, hiera-json-0.3.0, hiera-puppet-0.3.0, highline-1.6.13, i18n-0.6.0, json-1.7.5, log4r-1.1.10, metaclass-0.0.1, mocha-0.12.3, net-scp-1.0.4, net-ssh-2.5.2, open4-1.3.0, popen4-0.1.2, progressbar-0.11.0, puppet-module-0.3.4, puppetlabs_spec_helper-0.3.0, rake-0.9.2.2, rspec-2.11.0, rspec-core-2.11.1, rspec-expectations-2.11.2, rspec-mocks-2.11.2, rspec-puppet-0.1.4, thor-0.16.0, vagrant-1.0.3, veewee-0.2.3, virtualbox-0.9.2] (Gem::LoadError)

As you can see from the error above the json gem is clearly in the list, yet it will not recognize it. I have searched for this issue and found many occurrences but most of the time the gem is not present in the amongst list. I do not have ruby installed multiple times and the gem path is set.

As you can see the gem is in the installed list here to. The environment variables $GEM_HOME and $GEM_PATH are not set.
I have been trying to figure this one out but am currently at a loss. Any help from a Ruby and/or Vagrant expert would be greatly appreciated.
