Just in case it applies here is an extract from the Pickaxe book (Second edition, page 217):
"Threre's a subtlety when it comes to installing different versions of the same application with RubyGems. Even though RubyGems keeps separate versions of the application's library files, it does not version the actual command you use to run the application. As a result, each install of an application effectively overwrites the previous one."
