Ruby Gems install - PLSE help

[Paul Thompson]

 Hi,

I am a newbie to linux and I am trying to install rubygems. I have installed
Ruby and that seems fine but when I try to install Gems (I am using the
files from www.rubyonrails.org),  this is what I get:-

As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a while)...
...done.
No library stubs found.

And gems is not installed. Help would be very greatly appriciated.
