Setup to Install Gems Locally Only

You should never have to use 'sudo gem install', but the trick to doing that is to add the following to your .bash_profile:

https://gist.github.com/217895

export GEM_PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8"
export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8"
export PATH="$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin:$PATH"
