Do you have an .irbrc file? Does it use "require_gem"? If so, edit the 
file and change all the "require_gem" method calls to plain old 
"require". (Unless you were using "require_gem" for it's actual purpose 
of requiring a specific version of a gem, instead of using it as a 
synonym for "require", which is what it was used for most of the time.)
