GetoptLong Accessing the values with out looping

Do you see a long.rb under
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/getopt-1.3.4?

If not, something went wrong. If so, then maybe you need to set your
RUBYOPT environment variable, or you'll need to require 'rubygems'
first.

I am having an issue with the script working. Is their some
path variable that needs to be set for ruby to see the gem packages?

Initially i have the ubuntu ruby pkgs installed. I have
removed them and built ruby 1.8.4 and gems 0.8.11 built from source.

Any ideas?

Its there. Still no go. I am going to uninstall ruby and use gems to install
it.
Any suggestions on how to remove ruby? It was compiled from source.

Thanks everyone for all there help today.

Wait, did you do this:

require 'rubygems'
require 'getopt/long'

# rest of script

Use gems to install what? If you mean ruby, you can't install ruby from a gem (especially not after removing ruby, w/o ruby how is rubygems supposed to run?)
