Subject: ruby-net-ldap

I'm running ruby 1.8.6 on Windows.  I've installed the ruby-net-ldap
0.0.4 gem.  When I require 'net/ldap' I get nothing.  All calls to
ruby-net-ldap methods fail.  I've used this gem successfully in
another project and I
just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong now.

I ran the following tests in the project where it's failing:

C:> gem list
...
ruby-net-ldap (0.0.4)
...

C:> path
...;c:/RoR/Ruby/bin;...     <and no other ruby libs>

irb>$:.each {|dir| puts dir }
...
c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.2/bin
c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/bin
c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/lib
...

irb> require "net/ldap"
[  ]

So the gem is there, the directory is in the load path, but the
require statement isn't finding it.  I confirmed that c:/RoR/Ruby/lib/
ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/lib/net/ldap.rb exists.  The
only differences I can see between the instance that works and this
one is that the former uses ruby 1.8.5 and Rails 1.2 and the latter
uses ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.0.2.  I've also tried this under Parallels
on my Macbook using Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.0.2 and it fails there
too.

I don't know what else to check.  Can someone enlighten me, please?
