For some reason looks like netbeans doesn't pick up the gem
environment. It should ideally do so automatically like in the CLI:
% uname -v
snv_79
% gem environment
RubyGems Environment:
- VERSION: 0.9.4 (0.9.4)
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home
- GEM PATH:
- /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home
- REMOTE SOURCES:
- http://gems.rubyforge.org

Rails (or any gem) can be installed via 'gem'.
There was much discussion here on exactly how to deliver packaged
versions of some popular gems, but the first round delivers only ruby
& gems. There's future work in the wishlist to explore packaged
delivery of the most popular gems (like rails).

The system dir isn't meant to be world-writable.
Users can do private gem installs via -i,
% gem help install
[...]
-i, --install-dir DIR Gem repository directory to get installed
gems.
[...]
It'd be nice if gem had a built-in default (say, $HOME) for
non-privileged users. That might be a good idea to propose to the gem
community.
