I just went through this mess over the last few hours... http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/59185 If I do: require_gem 'gemname', '>= version' I discovered that require_gem doesn't actually do the "require" call on the 1st argument. So what's the point of require_gem then? It did manage to confuse the heck out of me, so I guess it does something :)... Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
