Please note the following:

  • RubyMine looks for the scripting gem (gem, or, in case of Ruby 1.9, gem19) in the same directory where the Ruby interpreter is located. If this gem is located in a different directory, an error message is displayed, suggesting to download and install gems for the specified SDK.
  • For *nix platforms, the list shows Ruby SDKs together with their gemsets. Refer to Configuring SDK Gemsets for details.
