Missing required 'path' module?

Thanks Kevin,

apt-get install irb didn't work, but it got me thinking. apt-get had installed ruby 1.8.4 minus irb. I installed 1.8.5 from scratch and this had irb, but it turns out was missing yaml and zlib, whic I apt-got (correct tense?). Of course this installed them under /usr not /usr/local so I had to copy them. Seems to be working, but I must do some cleanup later or I will confuse the hell out of myself.

Hey Mike,
my guess is you need to install irb - properly something like:
apt-get
install irb

If you installed 1.8.5 from source and didn't have yaml something bad probably happened.

If you installed 1.8.5 from scratch and zlib wasn't built you probably were missing the zlib libraries on your system.

You shouldn't be copying these files across ruby versions. It may lead to strange bugs.
