Gems disapeared after port install of a package

[Tom Bak]

Hi,
I am new to Mac, tried to set up MSSQL connection
and broke gems on Leopard.

tb-imac:~ tb$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
LoadError: no such file to load -- rubygems
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require 'hpricot'
LoadError: no such file to load -- hpricot
from (irb):2:in `require'
from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0> quit

tb-imac:~ tb$ gem list --local

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.1.0, 1.3.6)
actionpack (2.1.0, 1.13.6)
actionwebservice (1.2.6)
activerecord (2.1.0, 1.15.6)
activerecord-sqlserver-adapter (1.0.0.9250)
activeresource (2.1.0)
activesupport (2.1.0, 1.4.4)
....

I think this command broke it:
sudo port install rb-dbi +dbd_odbc

is it possible? How to debig the source of the problem?

Cheers,
Tomasz

Have you ended up with two different installs of ruby (I imagine port
would have grabbed ruby as a dependency of rb-dbi) ?

Do
which gem
which irb

point to very different places ?

Yes, indeed. gem is in /user/bin while irb is in /opt/local/bin/irb

How to remove that not wanted version of ruby? Delete file by file?
Or maybe the ports can cliean up that mess after that install somehow?
