Pete's suggestion still stands, but this stands out and needs some attention.

I'm guessing that at some point you messed up an ENV var and set GEM_HOME to:

    /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/

when it should be:

    /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/

and then re-installed therubyrhino. "/gems/" will be appended to your GEM_HOME and that's why you have a directory with "/gems/gems/" in it.

I'll go a step further and say that if your ruby in installed "properly" (aka, whatever way is usual on your system), don't set GEM_HOME at all, unless you have a damn good reason to. Rubygems will pick up the correct gem repo on its own.
