Subject: rubygems working with non-gems libs?

Hi,

I wanted to try SDS (http://www.starware.one.pl/software/sds/index.html).
It depends on log4r, and as log4r is available as a gem, it convinced me to try
rubygems.
Installing log4r with rubygems was really easy.
However, sds didn't seem to find log4r on my system.
It complained about not finding log4r/configurator. Here is the code in the file sds.rb
require "log4r/configurator"
require "log4r"

I had to add this before to make it find log4r:
require "rubygems"
require_gem "log4r"

Does that mean that if I start using rubygems, I'll have to edit ruby code not based on gems?

PS: from the doc (http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UserDoc), I thought gems would go into 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
but the went into 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/
