Yep. Gem installations are contained within the installation directory of the
Ruby interpreter you're using.
A possible solution to your problem could be something like this:
unless defined?(RUBY_ENGINE)
# require gems for the Ruby interpreter bundled with OSX.
else
# require gems for use with MacRuby.
end
Ruby 1.8 doesn't define RUBY_ENGINE as far as I know, but 1.9 and other Ruby
implementations do(rbx, JRuby, …)
The Ruby Version Manager(RVM) does a much better job at handling multiple Ruby
installations(MacRuby included), so
maybe you can have a look at that too: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com
