I encounterd the following output while using which
[user@localhost ~]$ which gem

Try this:
shopt -s extdebug
declare -F gem
From man builtins:
extdebug
If set, behavior intended for use by debuggers is enabled:
1. The -F option to the declare builtin displays the source file
name and line number corresponding to each function name supâ€Â
plied as an argument.
