gems directory not getting installed

[Parv G.]

Hi,

I've tried installing different versions of one click installers on a
windows server 2008 64bit, each time installation seems to have gone
fine, but when I look under <ruby>/lib/ruby I do not see a 'gems'
directory.

Anyone know why this might be happening or a solution or workaround to
this?

Thanks

'gem env'

Look under gem directories, that is where gems get installed. E.g.:

gem env

Look where the gems are installed, under a versioned folder.
