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.

Thanks,
Kilari.
