Heroku db:push doesnt work. Says it needs taps installed even after taps has been installed

I can't seem to get heroku to db:push, even though I have installed taps. It doesnt seem to believe me. I also checked and found a folder here: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/taps-0.2.23/

This can be fixed by upgrading your heroku gem with

gem update heroku

You might need a sudo as well depending on your environment.

Is the 'gem' for the current user the same as the run that's run from sudo? I've had a problem with that when using REE or ruby installed from macports. Quick check to compare:

which gem
sudo which gem

gem list | grep tap
sudo gem list | grep tap

It might be worth a try to purge both the taps and heroku gem and reinstall them.

Are you using RVM? If so it's easy to be using the wrong gemset and not know it.
