If you want to use OpenStudio's ruby API outside of our GUI's you need to tell your system ruby where to find OpenStudio.
Create a file with this content.
require 'C:\Program Files\OpenStudio 1.7.0\Ruby\openstudio.rb'
Place it in your system ruby's site folder at a path similar to this.
C:\Ruby200\lib\ruby\site_ruby\openstudio.rb
Also, the openstudio gem isn't something you should typically use. You just need OpenStudio installed, and optionally ruby (you can use your system ruby, or you can use OpenStudio's installed ruby).

Update: Just found this described in more detail in the measure testing section of our measure writing guide.
