rbenv issues when switching to zsh
If you just switched from bash to zsh and have issues with rbenv and gem, then you should move rbenv initialization to ~/.zshenv
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshenv
$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshenv
$ echo 'source $HOME/.zshenv' >> ~/.zshrc
$ exec $SHELLMore info at https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv

The $ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' bit should be changed to $ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"'. At least with rbenv 0.4.0.
Otherwise zsh complains of "complete" command not being available at shell start up (and you don't get the rbenv autocompletions either).
A follow up on my previous comment. The zsh argument to rbenv init is usually not required, but because of my situation (within a shell within emacs), it was was a workaround for $SHELL not being properly set in my environment.
By fixing what $SHELL was set to, things came right. That is a better way of addressing the problem.
Thanks for the follow-up walter!
This is actually fixed in HEAD version of rbenv.
Thank you so much! This worked for me!
