The array of paths being searched for files are stored in the $: 
variable. To see the current array of paths, simply do:

   puts $:

You can also append other paths to the array by putting this at the top 
of your Ruby script/application:

   $: << '/path/to/my/ruby-files'

Alternatively you can also set the RUBYLIB environment variable. If you 
are using bash, for example, you can add this to your .bashrc file:

   export RUBYLIB=/path/to/my/ruby-files
