Then you'll need to provide code I can work with to discover your  
real problem.  Downloading an entire project without gems is a heavy  
burden.

Note that Rubygems doesn't do that much to require, it is roughly this:

1) Call Kernel#require
2) If we got a LoadError, go looking for a gem with that file
3) If we found a gem, add its libraries to $LOAD_PATH
4) Call Kernel#require

So I don't believe rubygems is at fault here.

Rubygems doesn't do any auto-require unless you have set an  
autorequire in your gemspec and use require_gem (IIRC, old versions  
of rubygems would require everything in autorequire even when using  
require).
