More: so it seems you have to set GEM_HOME to something else than the 
default for the setup program which appears to be/usr/bin.ruby.

ie:

$ export GEM_HOME=/usr/local/lib/ruby
$ ruby ./setup.rb setup
...
$ ruby ./setup.rb install

This seems to put it in the right place anyway so that it doesn't 
interfere with the /usr/bin/ruby.exe in the path. and creates 
/usr/local/lib/ruby

I'm assuming after this you then need GEM_HOME to be set to run anything 
with gems in it. ?
