I think you likely are not telling Ruby that you are using gems.  
Either define the environment variable:

export RUBYOPT=-rubygems

(for bash, some shells do this differently)

in your shell, or add '-rubygems' to the command line when starting  
ruby.

There might be other ways, but I don't know them.

You can test this by running irb and trying to require erubis.

Cheers,
Bob
