Print the value of $: to determine the directories in which Ruby will 
look for libraries. Those directories are largely determined by the 
directory in which Ruby is installed at the time Ruby is installed. If 
Ruby is actually installed in /usr/local then it won't search for 
libraries in /usr.

Good luck!
