Subject: 2 apps require different version same GEM

I have 2 apps that both require RubyInline (specifically ScrubyT and
freeimage).

ScrubyT seems to require 3.6.3 RubyInline while freeimage requires
3.6.6.

I just installed RubyInline and now ScrubyT is throwing an error.
Specifically, ScrubyT reports: "`activate': can't activate RubyInline (=
3.6.3), already activated RubyInline-3.6.6] (Gem::Exception)"


I have read that Ruby Gems allows multiple versions of a gem to be used
simultaneously but unfortunately

The RubyGems user guide says to specify specific version numbers in the
require statement (such as '= 3.6.3').

I went to the scrubyt.rb file with the intent to add this in the require
statement in RubyInline.  Unfortunately, it seems RubyInline is being
required by a gem that ScrubyT is requiring.

Do I search for that gem and add this clause?  Is there another way of
accomplishing this?

Thanks,

John
