If your new version ruby overwrites the old one, you needn''t re-install gems.

Brian, /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.6 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.7 These are the folders gems are installed(linux).So all your previous installation gems will be in the 1.6 folder.What you can do it you can simlink 1.7 to 1.6 and it shud work fine.But some cases it might cause issues.so I have suggested to reinstall all the gems.

This is actually not the case! If you are using ruby 1.8.6 OR 1.8.7 your gems will be in gems/1.8 for example on my Mac: /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 on my Linux: /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8 You will need to reinstall if you upgrade to ruby 1.9 You will also need to reinstall if you upgrade to REE (ruby enterprise edition) since it uses a separate directory too. on the same linux ree installation uses /usr/lib64/rubyee/gems/1.8 Note that those installations can coexist on the same machine. they use binaries like ruby18, rubyee, ruby19, gem18, gemee, gem19 with ruby and gem usually being a symlink to one of the above.
