hard to say without knowing more details.  Some possibilities are:

(1) Rails comes in non-gem versions, is one of those installed?
(2) GEM_HOME is an environment variable.  Although your interactive 
shell was messed up, it could be that rails is running in a different 
window with its own, properly setup, GEM_HOME value. (Possibly started 
before you changed it).
