Gem install problem?

ruby-talk
1

I've been running ruby on WindowsXP without a problem Ruby Gems installed properly and require statements work fine.

However, I'm now using ruby on a machine running centOS 3.5 which is basically RHLinux.

I installed Ruby 1.8.3

I downloaded rubygems-0.8.11.tgz. gunzipped it and tar -xvf

I ran ruby setup.rb
setup ran fine

However gems is not on $:

I installed postgres-pr with gem install. The installation went smoothly and was successful.

However require 'postgres-pr/connection' throws an exception

test_connection.rb:2:in `require': no such file to load -- postgres-pr/connection (LoadError)

I've looked through ruby-talk archives for similar problems. Found some discussion but I'm not clear on whether there is a solution, or if this is a bug, or a faulty installation.

Can someone give me a pointer on how to correct this problem?

Thanks in advance

Ernie

Try:

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'postgres-pr/connection'

This additional step has to be done right now because Gems is not yet
integrated into Ruby.

That did the trick. Thanks.
