I faintly remember ... long time ago, when I had to use some Ruby gems under both, Ubuntu and Gentoo I think I did something along the lines of $ gem install $pkg --user-install $ ln -s $(ls -drv ~/.gem/ruby/*/gems/$pkg-*/bin/$pkg | head -1) ~/bin where the asterisks matched different Ruby and package versions, respec- tively, and the "-rv" option for the "ls" command caused the most recent versions to be picked by the "head" command. And of course, my personal "~/bin/" directory was mentioned in "PATH" early on. Not sure though, whether or not that will help you. Sincerely, Rainer
