Subject: TMail problem

Hi all,

I've written a Ruby script on Windows that makes use of the mysql and tmail 
gems. After a bit of hacking around (I'm still very new to Ruby) it seems to 
be doing what I want, so moved on to stage 2 of what I want to do - transfer 
the script to a box running Ubuntu server (7.04 IIRC).

I installed Ruby 1.8 and RubyGems on the Ubuntu box without any problems. I 
had a some difficulty getting the mysql gem installed, but that seems to be 
sorted now, and installing tmail seemed to go without a hitch - certainly, 
gem list --local gives:

mysql (2.7)
    MySQL/Ruby provides the same functions for Ruby programs that the
    MySQL C API provides for C programs.

sources (0.0.1)
    This package provides download sources for remote gem installation

tmail (1.2.1)
    Ruby Mail Handler

But, when I try to run the script by:

ruby getfeed1.rb I get:

getfeed1.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- tmail (LoadError)
        from getfeed1.rb:3

The same happens with any script (that I've tried) that requires tmail. I'm 
as new to Linux as I am to Ruby, so it may well be that I'm overlooking 
something really, really obvious here.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

TIA

Simon Jones.
