apt-get versus gem

[Caleb Marcus]

I don't know much about Ruby and gems, but I can tell you that I'm
guessing that installing the "gem" is similar to installing a Python
"egg." It's installing the Ruby module, but not installing the
executable in the system path. I'd just use apt-get, if I were you.
