Can you run other programs you have installed with rubygems?

Perhaps they are not in your PATH.

In a shell do:

$ locate allinoneruby | grep bin

To see if you can find where the program is installed.

Then do:

$ echo $PATH

to see your path.  Is that directory on the list?

If not then you need to

export PATH="/path/to/gem/bin/dir:$PATH"

in your .bashrc, or whatnot.

Note:
On my system, ruby executables are installed to /usr/local/bin.

Another note: I have no experience with these particular gems - this is
just what I would normally do when I have this sort of problem.
