Need to use multiruby with gems? Do what I do and share them with your existing gems:

  % cd ~/.multiruby/install
  % rm -rf */lib/ruby/gems  
  % for DIR in */lib/ruby; do
  > ln -s /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems $DIR/gems
  > done

Then test with something easy like:

  % multiruby -rubygems -e 'require "inline"'

Remember, use this method only when you aren’t testing version dependent binary gems!!
