Require load error

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I installed 'hpricot' and 'wx' (wxruby) libraries with gem command and when
I try to start a program which uses those two libraries I get 'require - no
such file to load - hpricot (or wx)'. I have ruby 1.9.0. developer version
installed on Windows.
What is the problem here ?

Thanks.

require 'rubygems' first.

Maybe, you need require 'rubygems' first.

require 'rubygems'
require 'hpricot'

I have the line:
require 'rubygems'
at the begining of the program.

This program worked before but I uninstalled and then installed ruby 1.8.6
few times and now I have ruby 1.9.0. developer version and it still doesn't
work. When I was installing those two gems it didn't ask me which version to
install (numbered list) like it did before. Maybe this tells something where
the problem might be.

This program worked before but I uninstalled and then installed ruby

1.8.6

few times and now I have ruby 1.9.0. developer version and it still

doesn't

work. When I was installing those two gems it didn't ask me which

version to

install (numbered list) like it did before. Maybe this tells something

where

the problem might be.

Then the Ruby version you are launching doesn't have the gems installed.
Find out which Ruby interpreter launches, and install the gems for it.

Also: Newer RubyGems versions detect your platform automagically.

(And AFAIK, Ruby 1.9 includes RubyGems as part of the STDLIB.)
