Subject: gem installation oddity

I have been totally puzzled by what I think is a misconfiguration of my
gem environment. I've read and looked and experimented and tried to
solve this. Maybe you can help.. Here's the top level symptom. I install
a gem, and then do a 'which' and gem says it can't find it:

sudo gem install wxruby
Successfully installed wxruby-2.0.0-universal-darwin-9
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for wxruby-2.0.0-universal-darwin-9...
Installing RDoc documentation for wxruby-2.0.0-universal-darwin-9...
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8$ gem which wxruby
Can't find ruby library file or shared library wxruby
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8$

This is not a peculiarity with this particular gem. There are others in
this odd state too. Here's some more context:
