>Description:
The ports ruby18-gems-0.9.2 and grass-6.2.1_1,2 both install an executable called
/usr/local/bin/gem


>How-To-Repeat:
Install both ports.

pkg_info -L "ruby18-gems-0.9.2"
pkg_info -L "grass-6.2.1_1,2"
>Fix:
Rename the grass gem executable to grass-gem. Leave the ruby gem executable
as is. In all probability the ruby "gem" will get used more often than the grass one.
