[TxMt] rmate problem

[Ken Snyder]

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.
