Require error in gems

ruby-talk

I have installed rubyzip gems .

I have it jolly well in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rubyzip-0.9.1

Now in irb i get

C:\ruby>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubyzip'
LoadError: no such file to load -- rubyzip
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
27:in `ge
m_original_require'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
27:in `re
quire'
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0>

why so any hint.

You will need to include rubygems first:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rubyzip'

Can you try with require 'rubygems' before your require 'rubyzip' ?

Thanks

For some reason best known to the gem author, the actual incantation is:

require 'rubygems' # if this is not previously included
require 'zip/zip'

Have a look at the scripts in the sample directory inside the installed
gem for more clues.

Sorry - ignore that - it looks like you must already be including
rubygems somehow as your error comes from gems, not the standard
require.
