I have rmagick-1.11.1 installed, and I uninstalled all previous versions to
make sure they weren't somehow confusing my system.

The second session is the same as the first session except the order of the
calls are reversed. The constant 'Magick' is uninitialized until I make the
second call to require (perhaps I should have demonstrated this explicitly
as I did in the first session).

Anyway, here's what happens:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'rmagick'
=> false
irb(main):003:0> puts Magick::Long_version
NameError: uninitialized constant Magick
        from (irb):3
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/specification.rb:227
