Hello,
  I've just installed ruby-1.8.2 on OS X 10.3.9 in order to try and run
instiki-0.10.1.  I'm gettig an error, right off the bat with instiki:

../instiki
../script/server:4:in `require': No such file to load -- optparse 
(LoadError)
         from ./script/server:4
         from ./instiki:6:in `load'
         from ./instiki:6
bp01:/tmp/instiki-0.10.1 root# cd ..

which, of course, means that the script/server ruby file cannot resolve 
the few require statements at the top:

require 'webrick'
require 'optparse'
require 'fileutils'

(note: I downloaded a separate webrick before I realized that the *rb 
files were located in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/, which is why we squeak 
past this one).

I've changed my PATH to include this directory:

echo $PATH
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8:/usr/local/sge/bin/darwin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

but it doesn't find it. Every illustration I've found so far seems to 
notuse fully qualified pathnames i nthe require statement - how then do I 
direct ruby to these modules?

Thank for any help,

Paul Mitchell
