Subject: Re: Could gems upgrade ruby itself?

oh, just don't be lazy.
You just need a little bit of your unix navigation skills to find the  
location of Ruby in OSX
You can overwrite it, or you can leave it and install in a new, more  
standard, directory.
You'll only have to write something to the Bash .profile or .bashrc  
or .bash_login to set the PATH for looking for it.
If you're using any database with it, you will have to do this stuff  
anyway.

Just use the tutorial on Hivelogic
