# So, I can conclude that I have to call rubygems then I call the elif.

yes, and for any gem you want to load for that matter.

but if you always need a gem, you can create an env var RUBYOPT and set it to rubygems, like
  
   export RUBYOPT=rubygems

note that i seldom do this since rubygems loads a lot of things (observe your $"). i wish rubygems has something like, 

   require "rubygems-base"

wc just installs the basic gem needed to find the needed gem paths..
