This ohai issue is unrelated to omnibus or any other installation method. 
What I'm considering here is how ohai detects information about what ruby 
interpreter you have installed--ohai is just the messenger. I'm not 
personally working on the omnibus project (though I'm excited about it), so 
I'm not up to speed on the considerations for this pathing issue. But it's 
only tangentially related to how ohai would detect what versions of ruby you 
have installed.
