I have been using rmate successfully -- installed with "gem install rmate" on an Ubuntu system -- but rmate wasn't being recognised by the root user (via sudo commands) so I did some fooling around in trying to install rmate for root. Didn't go well so I gave up. The problem is now it doesn't work for any user.

When I type "rmate filename" I get:

/home/ubuntu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/rmate-1.5.5/bin/rmate:148:in `initialize': Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

Not being a rubiest or even much Ubuntist I'm seeking help from the community. Anyone have any ideas how I can get back to normal?

p.s. I did try uninstalling and reinstalling (with gem) but that didn't change the behaviour.
