I am trying to understand how gem works but I am finding it hard to wrap my head around it. I know C, C++ and Python and have also built shared libraries but somehow I am just not able to understand the way gem works. For example, in C/C++ I use makefile to dynamically link libraries to run my socket program etc. But when I run a ruby code (through Chef specifically) I don't see how that gem is a dependency or used in runtime. Probably I am not looking at the right thing. Probably I am lost. Could anyone explain it to me by drawing an analogy to a standard shared library.
