Chad, is there away for a gem to execute a command like 'ln -s ....' once the executable is installed, so that there is a soft link from Imobach's /user/local/bin folder to the original executable?

You actually can't do what you want. RubyGems is for installing Ruby
programs. You can't use it to install shell scripts (unless you write
them in Ruby).
