Where's my blasted gems?

Posted on March 21, 2008
If you’re anything like me, and you keep forgetting whereabouts your gems are installed, use the following command: 

gem environment
This will pop up a handy list like this: 

RubyGems Environment:
  - VERSION: 0.9.4 (0.9.4)
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - GEM PATH:
     - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://gems.rubyforge.org

Your gems are nicely tucked away within your GEM PATH directory
