Removing RubyGems

Jonathan Waddilove

12/29/2005 5:10:00 PM

Hmm, I have ended up with multiple instances of RubyGems installed on my
OS X system. I can use PATH to ensure that the correct version is used,
but I'd like to clean the system up.

Can some kind person describe the process for reversing the 'ruby
setup.rb' to ensure a full and clean remove of the package?

Thanks in advance
