No, it loaded it fine. I don't understand why, but for some libs, requiring them from irb returns false. Or maybe it is just libs that rubygems loads, I'm not sure. The 'false' simply means that the lib has already been required, not that the require failed. At any rate, if no exception is raised, you should be good to go. - Jamis
