I'm not familiar with a gemwhich - sounds crunchy - but .... $ gem which spec (checking gem rspec-1.2.3 for spec) /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.2.3/lib/spec.rb $ gem which spec/rails (checking gem rspec-rails-1.2.3 for spec/rails) /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rspec-rails-1.2.3/lib/spec/rails.rb Of course, 1.2.3 isn't released yet, but I have special privileges ;) So it appears that "gem which" looks for files, not gems or executables.
