Subject: require not working on server

I'm developing on a Mac and deploying to a RHEL4 linux server.  For some
reason while "require" returns a boolean on the Mac, it is returning an
empty array "[]" on the server.  Where can I find the code for "require"
and what makes it return an empty array instead of a boolean?

This seems to be only in the Rails app I'm working on.  If I do this
same sequence in IRB, it works as expected on both machines.

Thanks much for any ideas/assistance...

On the mac:

On the server:
