I get:
~ $ gem

RubyGems is a sophisticated package manager for Ruby.  This is a
basic help message containing pointers to more information.

   Usage:
     gem -h/--help
     gem -v/--version
     gem command [arguments...] [options...]

   Examples:
     gem install rake
     gem list --local
     gem build package.gemspec
     gem help install

   Further help:
     gem help commands            list all 'gem' commands
     gem help examples            show some examples of usage
     gem help <COMMAND>           show help on COMMAND
                                    (e.g. 'gem help install')
   Further information:

my PATH is:
~ $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

which start with '/usr/local/bin' the same as yours.

ditto here.

All of which means that I'm totally stumped. Just out of curiosity,  
does:
~ $ which ruby
yield
/usr/local/bin/ruby?
