I think you've installed rubygems using /usr/bin/ruby, the Apple's one ?

may be you didn't change your PATH hit before ?

neither only :

GEM_HOME=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

but i would suspect you could enter into trouble, if i'm right, that's
to say you've installed rubygems with Apple's Ruby...

personaly in such a situation i would re-install rubygems to insure it
is linked to the right ruby.

no need for a repository except you want to download first and install
afterwards ?

otherwise gem is able to download remotely the gems you want to install.
