Hello,

I could make ruby-agi-1.0.0.gem by executing
gem build <gemspec>

But problem is here:

[beeplove@vpn ruby-agi]$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require_gem 'ruby-agi'
ruby-agi
LoadError: no such file to load -- ruby-agi
        from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:22:in `require__'
        from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:22:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:182:in `activate'
        from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:181:in `activate'
        from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in `require_gem_with_options'
        from /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in `require_gem'
        from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0>

I am not sure, where I am doing wrong. Would anybody please show my mistake.

Thanks,
Mohammad

Between building a gem and using that gem, you probably have to
install it.

You autorequire 'ruby-agi', but don't provide a file named 'ruby-agi.rb'
in your lib directory.

I would recommend just dropping the autorequire line. Since modern
versions of RubyGems automatically activates the gems, it is not very
useful.

Your users just need to write:

    require 'rubygems'
    require 'agi'

No need to invoke require_gem at all (unless you need to specify a
particular version).

Ohh yes, I did it by using,
gem install --local ruby-agi-1.0.0.gem
And getting the error posted in my earlier message.
Sorry, forgot to metion this step.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your help.
Yes, I was not using autorequire correctly.
After looking at couple of other project's gemspec, I understood it better.

Thanks again,
Mohammad
