Can't load gem

ruby-talk
1

Hi!

I've run into some trouble while updating my ruby-version on ubuntu.
I installed ruby1.9.1 linked /usr/bin/ruby to ruby1.9.1
installed rubygems1.3.7 with ruby1.9.1.

My gem env output is this:

RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.1 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 378) [i486-linux]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
  - RUBY EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
  - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/bin
  - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    - ruby
    - x86-linux
  - GEM PATHS:
     - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
     - /home/jule/.gem/ruby/1.9.1
  - GEM CONFIGURATION:
     - :update_sources => true
     - :verbose => true
     - :benchmark => false
     - :backtrace => false
     - :bulk_threshold => 1000
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://rubygems.org/

When I run

ruby --disable-gems -S irb
require 'rubygems'
require 'ri_cal'

everything works fine!

Does ruby load a wrong gem version by default?
How is it possible to configure this?
Is it an ruby or an ubuntu issue?

Really don't know how to find a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Have you installed the ri_cal gem under 1.9?

there are separate gem directories for 1.8 and 1.9.

Probably not the problem but Ruby 1.9.1 is getting rather old, but I
guess that's the latest debian/ubuntu packaged version of Ruby.

I've installed ri_cal under

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems

and I added this path to the $RUBYLIB variable. It still doesn't work.
Maybe I should compile a newer ruby version?

Thanks

PS: Your ri_cal gem works great when it's loaded!!

I've installed ruby 1.9.2 from source and everything works fine now!
So, there must be a buck in the ruby 1.9 ubuntu version..

Thanks!

I stopped using debian packaged Rubies a long time ago. They just
don't keep up well enough, and the packagers tend to break stuff. I
was advised to install from source as a padawan Rubyist by Andy Hunt
of the Pragmatic Programmers.

I do the same thing on Mac OS X.

And these days I do the installs and manage multiple ruby versions using RVM.
