Subject: Re: Problem with gem, after upgrading to 1.3.1 on linux (ubuntu 8.04)

This appears to be the same problem I reported in another thread.

After updating to rubygems 1.3.1 all installed gems seem to have 
disappeared.

As far as I can tell, the problem is the installation directory.

Look at the gem env output and notice this line:

    - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

Now, if you have the same problem that I do, there should be NO gems in 
this directory. All of your gems should be found in:

    /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/

Thus, it seems that rubygems 1.3.1 somehow changes the installation 
directory and looses track of where your gems really are.

You agree?
Is changing rubygem's installation directory an easy thing to do?

Thanks!
Giuseppe
