You don't have to stumble around in the dark while waiting for some kind 
soul here to guide you. RubyGems has good user doc, available from the 
RubyGems project page at the link marked "Project Home Page". Here's the 
link: http://docs.rubygems.org/. (This link is also the #1 result if you 
Google for "rubygems".)

Here's something that a lot of newcomers miss: RubyGems is not only a 
way to install Ruby libraries, it's also the mechanism for using these 
libraries after they're installed. Look at "Chapter 3.4 Post-install -- 
Setting Up the RubyGems Environment" for the details.
