Hello,
I seem to have stumbled into the same problem.
I have a number of gems installed on my Ubuntu box, and they all reside 
in

    /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/

But after doing

    $ sudo gem update --system

and successfully upgrading to v.1.3.1, suddenly gems are being looked 
for in

    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/

which is empty. In fact, doing

    $ gem list

yielded ZERO gems. To test things, I then installed a new gem:

    $ sudo gem install capistrano_colors

which succeeded. 'gem list' does report this one, and I found the 
package in

    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/


Cs Webgrl says they reinstalled all gems to make things work again, but 
I wonder if there is a simpler, cleaner way to have the proper path 
restored.

Thanks in advance!
Giuseppe
