ubygems.rb is the way rubygems is loaded when you run:

ruby -rubygems

I don't think that is anything to do with the problem Jorge is  
having. I'm not sure what the problem is do with though and I can't

tutorial I know of is the Pickaxe chapter on debugging - but there's  
not much to it to be honest:
