Hi everyone,  
I’m writing an OS X GUI app that works with the gem command line tool.  
Please let me know where you have gem installed.  
Of course I already have the default path covered, as well as /usr/  
local paths from the Hivelogic style installation.  
I’d like to know your path to gem if you have Fink or MacPorts/  
DarwinPorts or other common OS X paths to gem.  
I want my app to be able to find gem on your system if you use the  
app when it’s finished.
