Answer 1

My problem was permission related. Somehow, the "other" user needs rx permissions. I did the following and it works now:

sudo chmod -R o+rx /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/

If you getting cannot load such file and its pointing to require statement, check your permissions for /gems folder and folders underneat.

Answer 2

Create an gemset and use it in rvmrc.

Then come out of the project using Cd ../

Again enter into project, this time it will show, "RVM has encountered a new or modified .rvmrc file in the current directory"

Type 'Yes'.

and now give bundle install.

It will work.
