From: Lobo tuerto Cazador Date: 2008-01-02T20:54:41+09:00 Subject: Re: Gems gone after upgrading RubyGems Well I couldn't find where to change those default settings, so I resorted to modifying my ".bashrc" file :( I added this lines to it: GEM_HOME=/var/lib/gems/1.8 export GEM_HOME GEM_PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8 export GEM_PATH After I added those lines I could see my old gem list with: "gem list" But now I have a different problem, I installed the JSON gem with: "gem install json", and all went ok. I can even see the gem listed in my local list: *** LOCAL GEMS *** json (1.1.2) But if I go into "irb", and type: "require 'json'", it would complain with: irb(main):002:0> require 'json' LoadError: no such file to load -- json from (irb):2:in `require' from (irb):2 What else do I need to change, so irb will load my newly installed gems? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
