Subject: RubyGems Issue

Hi list,

I'm having a not-so-critical-but-still-irritating issue with
rubygems. It installed fine, and i can use gems, but only using
require_gem; using the redefined require (from custom_require.rb)
results in a load error. Now, NB, I am running on Ubuntu
(i.e. Debian-based distro), and I know there have been issues w/
rubygems on these platforms before. However, since everything else
seems to work, i was wondering if anybody had insight into this
problem.

e.g. (with any gem, not just fxruby, and I have rubygems in RUBYOPT):

irb(main):001:0> require_gem 'fxruby'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> exit

But:
irb(main):001:0> require 'fxruby'
LoadError: No such file to load -- fxruby
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in 
`require__'
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in 
`require'
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> exit
