"RubyGems are not installed for a platform"

[Morris Jones]

On the Ruby Platform Manager, I'm struggling to get Netbeans to use the
locally installed Ruby.  It finds my ruby 1.8.6 executable, but it
doesn't find the gems.

In Gem Home, the Browse button is greyed out, and the message in red
says <RubyGems are not installed for a platform>.  "*A* platform?"  What
does this mean?  Not installed for _this_ platform, or not installed for
_any_ platform?  It's clearly wrong, because RubyGems _are_ installed
for this platform.

Adding the path to my installed gems repository
(/usr/local/ruby-1.8.6/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/) seems to do no good.  I
get a nonsensical dialog box that says
"/usr/local/ruby-1.8.6/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems" is non-empty existing
directory and does not seem to be a valid RubyGems repository.

Any clues?

Oddly enough, I removed the installed native platform, and did an
autodetect for platforms, and it found Ruby and gems.  <shrug>

Gem tool detection failed. We are getting info about the gem tool
directly from the interpreter. If you can reproduce, please provide
detailed log as described here:

There is not any known bug in this area. Which version of NetBeans BTW?

Yes, bad English of non-native speaker. Will fix, thanks for the catch.

"/usr/local/ruby-1.8.6/lib/ruby/gems/1.8" is the right path (without the
last 'gems' directory). As returned by 'gem env'.
