Subject: rubygems local install?

Hi, I'm trying to use a .gem on a machine that I do not have root 
permissions on. I've been following 
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToUseMultipleGemRepositories 
to install gem locally, but no matter what I do I always seem to end up 
with: "/gem:9:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems 
(LoadError)".

Here are the steps I'm taking:

mef@pronbox:~$ cd /home/mef
mef@pronbox:~$ mkdir /home/mef/ruby
mef@pronbox:~$ mkdir /home/mef/ruby/geminstall
mef@pronbox:~$ mkdir /home/mef/ruby/gems
mef@pronbox:~$ export GEM_HOME=/home/mef/ruby/gems
mef@pronbox:~$ cd /home/mef/temp
mef@pronbox:~/temp$ tar -z -x -f rubygems-0.9.0.tgz
mef@pronbox:~/temp$ cd rubygems-0.9.0
mef@pronbox:~/temp/rubygems-0.9.0$ ls

As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a 
while)...
...done.
No library stubs found.

Anyone have any ideas?
