rubygem installation problem

[Sunny Bak]

I installed ruby 1.8.7 and now I am trying to install rubygem 1.3.2.
(red hat linux)

Please help me what I am doing wrong. It seems like I didn't set the
path right somewhere.

cd rubygem-1.3.2/
ruby setup.rb --prefix=/usr/local/rubygems
#I added /usr/local/rubygems/bin to the path.

GEM_HOME = /usr/local/rubygems/gemrepos
#set the gem_home

#when I try to execute gem:
/usr/local/rubygems/bin/gem

#i get the following error

/usr/local/rubygems/bin/gem:8:in `require': no such file to load --
rubygems (LoadError) from /usr/local/rubygems/bin/gem:8

I am pulling my hair for last few hours.. Thanks

Why did you use --prefix instead of installing RubyGems into the
default location?

/usr/local/rubygems/bin/gem:8:in `require': no such file to load --
rubygems (LoadError) from /usr/local/rubygems/bin/gem:8

RubyGems needs to be in $LOAD_PATH. You'll need to set RUBYLIB or
pass -I to all your scripts to use RubyGems.

It's better if you don't use --prefix and don't set GEM_HOME.
