Gem is installed but it is not found by bundle show

Question

I'm having trouble getting the pg gem working with my rails app.

When I do a sudo bundle install I get:

Using rake (10.0.4)
Using i18n (0.6.4)
Using multi_json (1.7.2)
Using activesupport (3.2.8)
Using builder (3.0.4)

Using rack-test (0.6.2)

Using rack-ssl (1.3.3)
Using json (1.7.7)
Using rdoc (3.12.2)
Using thor (0.18.1)
Using railties (3.2.8)
Using coffee-rails (3.2.2)
Using jquery-rails (2.2.1)
Using pg (0.15.0)
Using bundler (1.1.5)
Using rails (3.2.8)
Using sass (3.2.7)
Using sass-rails (3.2.6)
Using uglifier (1.3.0)

However, when I do a 'bundle show' for any gem, I get:

Could not find pg-0.15.0 in any of the sources

Additionally, when I do any rake command, I get:

/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@global/gems/bundler-1.1.5/lib/bundler/spec_set.rb:90:in `block in materialize': Could not find pg-0.15.0 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound)

        from /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:60:in `rescue in require'

        from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper:9:in `<main>'

I suspect that it has something to do with RVM and what version of Ruby I'm using since I recently changed to 1.9.3. Any ideas?

I don't know what the difference is between user based RVM and common RVM is. But, yes, I am using RVM. — Ridwan, Apr 03 '13 at 05:46
user based RVM => ruby and all gems are installed in your home directory called .rvm. But in common rvm ruby and all gems installed in /usr/local/rvm, it may differ based on system. — Mohanraj, Apr 03 '13 at 05:52
Please can you check do you have .rvm folder in your home directory? — Mohanraj, Apr 03 '13 at 05:53
did you update rubygems and re installed bundler after upgrading to 1.9.3 I ran into a similar issue the other day had to reinstall rubygems and bundler — Abid, Apr 03 '13 at 06:03

Try bundle install without sudo.
