Subject: Gems gone due to bad $:


On an Ubuntu box.

I have been experimenting with ruby1.9 and now I am finding that gems
are gone from 1.8.  It seems by RUBYLIB path is never modified.

I don't know if that had anything to do with it or an update of the OS
screwed up something.

$ ls /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/
gems/
(all gems are listed)

$ type ruby
ruby is /usr/bin/ruby

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ruby
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2007-04-23 07:58 /usr/bin/ruby -> ruby1.8

$ type irb1.8
/usr/bin/irb1.8

$ head -n1 /usr/bin/irb1.8
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

$ /usr/bin/ruby1.8 --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-06-07 patchlevel 36) [x86_64-linux]


$ export RUBYOPT='-w -rubygems'

$ irb1.8

irb> $:
=> ["/home/gga/ruby/libs", "/home/gga/ruby/libs", "/usr/local/lib/
site_ruby/1.8", "/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux", "/usr/
local/lib/site_ruby", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-
linux", "."]

irb> require 'rubygems'
=> false

irb> require 'rails'
LoadError: no such file to load -- rails


$ gem --version
0.9.4

Can anyone help me revert back to a working rubygems?
