[MacRuby-devel] (Mac)?Gems in the same place

Hi!

By default, macgem installs gems in /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.7/usr/lib/ruby/Gems/1.9.2/gems

You should not try to merge ruby gems and macruby gems (or make MacRuby install / use the ruby dir), because compiled extensions will not be compatible.
Some gems that compiled a library for ruby will not work for MacRuby and vice versa :-)
