Hi Darren,
It did actually occur to me along the way that I should ask you about
this. ;-)

I haven't had this problem with other gems that I know of. One thing I
wonder about is whether the gem is correctly placed during the install,
because I believe that 3rd-party gems are supposed to go under
site_ruby. (On my machine: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8)

Here's the install:

sudo gem install -r flacinfo-rb
Successfully installed flacinfo-rb-0.3
Installing ri documentation for flacinfo-rb-0.3...
File not found: lib

Which puts it here:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/flacinfo-rb-0.3

I can move flacinfo.rb to site_ruby/1.8 and everything works fine.

The odd thing is that on one machine (my Intel Mac), require 'flacinfo'
works without being moved, but on my desktop machine it doesn't.

And finally, the REAL problem is me making a mountain out of a molehill!

Dan J.
