How to install gems for Ruby Enterprise (REE) and Phusion (passenger, mod_rails)

sudo /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080810/bin/gem install image_science
#or
sudo /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20080810/bin/gem install mislav-will_paginate
#etc
#make sure to type in the correct version of REE you have installed

Ruby Enterprise does not currently grab the gems you already had installed using sudo gem install gem-name.

Instead you have to install them to ruby enterprise by doing the above.
