cannot load such file — rubygems.rb

Question

To open this project (revel) I need to be using ruby-2.1.2. I have both ruby-2.1.0 and ruby-2.1.2 installed, but I think the 2.1.2 version is corrupt for some reason and I can't seem to use it.

|~/desktop/ix/projects/revel> rvm use 2.1.2
Using /Users/lianoosh/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2
<internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)
    from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'

|~/desktop/ix/projects/revel> gem list
<internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)
    from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'

|~/desktop/ix/projects/revel> gem update --system 
<internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)
    from <internal:gem_prelude>:1:in `<compiled>'

When I tried to uninstall to reinstall I get:

|~/desktop/ix/projects/revel> rvm uninstall 2.1.2
ruby-2.1.2 - #removing rubies/ruby-2.1.2............................................................................................................................|

++ rvm_debug '__rvm_rm_rf error removing target dir '\''/Users/lianoosh/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2'\''.'
++ ((  0  ))
++ return 0
++ return 1

Then:

|~/desktop/ix/projects/revel> rvm list

rvm rubies

   ruby-2.1.0 [ x86_64 ]
=* ruby-2.1.2 [ missing bin/ruby ]

# => - current
# =* - current && default
#  * - default

So when I try to reinstall I get:

Already installed ruby-2.1.2.
To reinstall use:

    rvm reinstall ruby-2.1.2

And when I do that I get a bunch of permission denied messages and directory not empty and go right back to where I started. Also:

Empty path passed to certificates update, functions stack: requirements_osx_update_openssl_cert_run rvm_requiremnts_fail_or_run_action __rvm_osx_ssl_certs_ensure_for_ruby __rvm_osx_ssl_certs_ensure_for_ruby_except_jruby external_import_setup external_import main

Please help!
