Subject: Re: Ruby 1.9.0/1.8.7/1.8.6/1.8.5 new releases (Security Fix)

Ok, I took the stow route and followed the steps below.  However, now 
when I start the webrick server, Rubygems 0.9.4.1 can't be found even 
though it is installed.  Looks like the directory I'm pointing to 
doesn't know anything about Rubygems.  What can I do to fix this? 
Thanks!  Cheri

(See full trace by running task with --trace)
Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4. Please install RubyGems and try again: 
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org
[root@localhost cz]# yum install rubygems
fedora                    100% |=========================| 2.1 kB

updates                   100% |=========================| 2.3 kB

Package rubygems - 0.9.4-1.fc8.noarch is already installed.
Nothing to do
