no I thought this was only for "on the fly installation".
I really don't want to include the whole rubygems thing 
everywhere I need a gem-package

that is 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

and that's ok, there is some 

log4r-1.0.5

directory in the gems-subdir with 

doc
examples
src
tests

but my previous installation also installed into
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8

a log4r.rb and the dir log4r, so that I could do a simple
require 'log4r' in my scripts

why doesn't this work anymore?
