# Thanks it works. But when i used require "elif". My ruby did not 
# recognize its path. So i copied it into my local directory and ran it 
# fine. Is there any path issue that i have to tackle when i 
# download new package from gem. I am using ubuntu 7.10

try,
  require 'rubygems'

gems require rubygems to find themselves :)
require is change thereupon..

:~$ irb

~> alias old_require require
=> nil

~> require 'units'
LoadError: no such file to load -- units

~> old_require 'units'
LoadError: no such file to load -- units

~> require 'rubygems'
=> true

~> old_require 'units'
LoadError: no such file to load -- units

~> require 'units'
=> true

short story: only rubygems knows where the gems are :)

~> puts `lsb_release -a`
No LSB modules are available.
