Ups:
Normal User:
$ echo `gem env gemdir`/gems/sources-0.0.1
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sources-0.0.1
     ^^^^
    => file or directory doesn't exist

Root:
$ echo `gem env gemdir`/gems/sources-0.0.1
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sources-0.0.1
    => exists

Where can I change the "gemdir"?

Perhaps this is because I have my current Ruby installation in "/usr",
but the library of an older Ruby installation still "rests" in 
"/usr/local/lib".

Thanks for your help,
Stefan
