The fact that there is no reference to RubyGem's custom_require in your 
backtrace leads me to suspect that you don't have RubyGems loaded.  Put 
an explicit "require 'rubygems'" in the code, use the -rubygems switch 
on the command line, or set the RUBYOPT environment variable to 
'rubygems'.

Don't know about this, but I would double check the RubyGems issue first 
before pursuing other options.
