One very nice way to do this is to run each app with its own user, then
have a ~/.gems directory. Then you can only install each app's gems
here.
For example:
For my_app_1:
The app code is here: /home/my_app_1/rails/current
And the gems are here: /home/my_app_1/.gems
For my_app_2:
The app code is here: /home/my_app_2/rails/current
And the gems are here: /home/my_app_2/.gems
Both users have ~/.gems in their gem load path. So user my_app_1 doesn't
see user my_app_2's gems, and vice versa.
This is how some shared hosts let users install their own gems without
breaking anyone else's apps.
