Do not use require_gem unless you wish to set a particular *version*.
Even then, I would argue against because it still uses the
"autorequire" functionality that will be removed eventually.

(IMO, a new verson of RubyGems should be released soon that has
activate_gem that does *not* use autorequire and deprecates
require_gem.)

You have to specify the name of the gem to use require_gem; require
can be used to specify a full path.
