Subject: mod_ruby + dbi inconsistency

Hello.  I'm running httpd 2.0.49 on Suse 9.1.  I've installed mod_ruby
and eruby.  I've installed both the dbi and ruby-mysql packages.

Parsing of .rhtml seems to be working fine.  However, if I try
anything database related I encounter a problem.  I get the following
error in my apache log:

[error] mod_ruby: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi.rb:1:in
`require': No such file to load -- dbi/dbi (LoadError)

However, if I got into IRB I can do the following just fine:

irb(main):001:0> require 'dbi'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> blah=DBI.connect(etc)

And it works.

$> ruby -e " require 'dbi'; dbh=DBI.connect(...) "

Also works.  But I get the above error in apache.  I thought it had
something to do with the load path when mod_ruby is loaded, so I did a
dump from an rhtml page of $LOAD_PATH, and I get this:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8:/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux:/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby:/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8:/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux:.

dbi is installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dbi, so it would
appear it *should* be loaded just fine.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Matt
