How can I delete the second path (/home/tom/.gem/ruby/1.8) of GEM PATHS: ?
Here's the output of $ gem env:

I appreciate the help!
Override in your ~/.bashrc file?
#in ~/.bashrc
export GEM_PATH=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
Feels kind of hacky though.
You can’t! I also wanted to do it, and haven’t found a way. Then I looked for in RubyGems source (at github.com) and learned that it tries to get the path from etc/gemrc and ~/.gemrc. If it fails (and fails GEM_PATH environment variable too), it assumes ~/.gem to be the default path.
Therefore, Max William is right, and you have either to export GEM_PATH or to create a ~/.gemrc. And it’s not a hack, for sure! :-)
Hope to have cleared things a bit!

I having trouble getting Ruby gems to work right with TextMate (TM) and chruby on macOS.
Clean install of Mojave (now v10.14.4) on a 2017 iMac about six months ago.
Trying to use Ruby-2.6.2, although earlier versions have been installed. System Ruby is v2.3.7
I have ended up with gems in at least three locations:
~/.rubies/ruby-2.6.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/
~/.gem/ruby/2.6.2/gems/
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0/gems/
TextMate relies on its Preferences for gem and Ruby locations. As a start I have the following:
GEM_HOME is unset because I don't see why it's needed, although I've frequently read to set it as shown or similar. GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH are defined as
GEM_PATH provides the locations (there may be several) where gems can be found.
GEM_HOME is where gems will be installed (by default).
The problem is that when I run this script (after the error not included) in TM
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
system ('gem env') # for debugging
puts "\nGem.path: #{Gem.path}"
puts "\ngem list:"
system ('gem list') # for debugging
require 'fileutils'
include FileUtils
require 'find'
require 'yaml'
require "time"
require 'irb'
require 'mini_exiftool'
The result is:
Running “PhotoName-GPScoord.rb”…

This particular script is OK with 2.3.7, but others may not be.
Thanks for any help.
This posting is a simplification of an earlier posting from me. I think I've boiled the problem down.
Changed GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH to $HOME/.gem/ruby/2.6.2:$HOME/.rubies/ruby-2.6.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0 based on copying the those variables from what showing up when running from the terminal. Lu's comment made me look a little harder at what was being reported. Basically I was missing $HOME/ in the second path (after the colon). I have been fiddling with this for months
I've successfully installed my ruby gem to a subdirectory of ~ using the --user-install option to gem. I can now see it under ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/.
However, I'm unable to require it from my script:
./public_html/tt_web/index.cgi:2:in `require': no such file to load -- mbox (LoadError)
from ./public_html/tt_web/index.cgi:2
I added ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin to my PATH variable per the information here (and I've verified it actually worked with echo $PATH).
What else do I need to load gems from a custom path?
Here is the output of gem env, if it helps:

Well, I have no idea why this works, but adding require 'rubygems' to the top of my code fixed everything. Perhaps someone else could still shine some light on why, but I'm just happy it's working now :)
I have Ruby installed on my work PC 1.9.3 version and Gem 1.8.24 but when I try to install Rails I get the following error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT)
No such file or directory - C:/Users/B"k"nyi Szabolcs
Can I fix this without creating a new Windows User?
Thanks for the help in advance.
My Windows user folder name is : Bökönyi Szabolcs

It seems I figured it out and the only problem was with the accent so instead of SET HOME %USERPROFILE% I used SET HOME="C:/Users/Bökönyi Szabolcs" and now the gem install rails works.
I can't install gems with bundler, it always fail with a Can't find <inser-gem-name-here> in any of the sources message although I do have rubygems defined as a source in my gemfile.
Also, I can normally install gems with gem install <gem-name>, I used to install the ones that fail manually and then run bundle install so that it sees them as already installed, but that doesn't wrok anymore.
I used to use rvm, got tired of this issue (and thought it caused it) so I switched to rbenv to no avail. I'm running 1.9.2-p290.
I'm running Mac OS Lion. Thanks!

I had a similar problem, that I managed to resolve by exporting my http_proxy
export http_proxy=http://user:password#host:port
Hope this helps.
NOTE: user377519 (answer below) pointed me in the right direction. I've posted the 'fix' at the bottom of the questions, in case you found this and need more than a 'pointer'
I can't figure out why the second call to "gem env" doesn't have the same environment as the first?
Any pointers? This is driving me crazy!!!!
$ which gem

SOLUTION:
Given that you don't (as I do not) want to switch between different versions, merely install a new version, on you OSX 10.5 box, this is how to get RubyGems installed correctly.
Assuming you built and installed your new Ruby like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-pthread
sudo make
sudo make install
edit your ~/.bash_profile and add this line
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Save and refresh your terminal. Then you should install RubyGems like this:
Download and setup latest rubygems
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
tar -xzv http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.7
sudo su
# export PREFIX=/usr/local
# export GEM_HOME=$PREFIX/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
# export RUBYLIB=$PREFIX/lib/ruby:$PREFIX/lib/site_ruby/1.8
# ruby setup.rb all —prefix=$PREFIX
exit
edit ~/.bash_profile and add the following lines
export PREFIX=/usr/local
export GEM_HOME=$PREFIX/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
export RUBYLIB=$PREFIX/lib/ruby:$PREFIX/lib/site_ruby/1.8
And you're all good.
Refresh Terminal,
Ruby and its tools are "smart." They are aware of execution context and will look for configurations based on where they are started. The first execution is out of a system directory, while the later is out of your home directory.
Given that you have two different versions and you're on Mac, it means you had to have either installed Ruby manually or through RVM. Given that the newer version is out system directory, I guess that you attempted to install a newer version of Ruby manually and am now confused why it's not working for you. You installed it into system space, but did not update Ruby's configuration in your home directory. Unfortunately, I have no answer how to get you out of this position. Hopefully, you have something that will let you undo your install.
The far safer way of installing different copies of Ruby is to use Ruby Version Manager (RVM). It does all the magic necessary to install multiple copies of Ruby without changing the system. From the command line you can invoke using a different interpreter for that session. Thus, system stays untouched but you can run JRuby, v1.9.2, etc.
Hope this gets you in a direction.
