Check your installation of libxml. Look in the gems installation dir
for the libxml-ruby package and see if the xml/libxml.rb file is
there. It's working fine on my machine and I just reinstalled from
scratch to be sure.

You might want to update your version of RubyGems too.

I need, require 'xml/libxml_so' or 'libxml_so' after '"gem 'libxml-ruby'

Looks like gemspec of libxml-ruby doesn't have 'autorequire' parameter.

Mohammad

autorequire has been deprecated. So it's doing the right thing there.
But I'm surprised you have to load 'libxml_so'. that seems like a bug
to me.
