I'm used to using gems locally where I can install them systemwide. But
in a shared hosting environment, where there might be several systemwide
gems installed by the host, there may be gems I want to install just in
my home directory. Does RubyGems support this? In a way that your Ruby
program can access both the systemwide and local gems?

My solution: compile and install Ruby in ~/software (or similar) and
use *that* Ruby for everything, including gems. No permission
problems.
