Subject: conflict between soap4r gem and stdlib


I installed a newer version of soap4r as a gem, but, when I require 
soap, the old version (which came with ruby) is the one that is loaded.

$ ruby -r soap/soap -e 'p SOAP::VERSION'
"1.5.5"
$ grep VERSION 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/soap.rb
VERSION = Version = '1.5.8'
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [i686-linux]


I can hack around this easily enough (install from a tar, maybe), but 
why isn't the gem found first?
