Does your code include

  require 'rubygems'

before you try to load files installed as gems?

You can also define that on the command line:

ruby -rubygems my_app.rb

or add it to your RUBYOPT environment variable

e.g.

  RUBYOPT=rubygems

But one why or another you need to tell Ruby that it should load the 
rubygems library first, and that then takes care of looking for gem files.

Oh, I say at least 0.1.
