I bet it was you, unless someone else installed ruby-gems ;).
I agree however that there might be better solutions than to pollute
your PATH environement variable. But as I am unable to provide one I
will certainly not complain.

BTW IIANM this does not happen in 1.9 anymore.

Ne rassemble pas des hommes pour aller chercher du bois, préparer des

gens la nostalgie de l’infini de la mer.

If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect
wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to
long for the endless immensity of the sea.
