Subject: Problems with 'gem require' and test-unit gem

Hi all,

I installed test-unit 2.0.0 as a gem, so now I'm a situation where I
want to explicitly require the gem version of test unit rather than
the one that shipped with the standard library.  However, when I try
to do "gem require 'test/unit'" I get this:

C:/Documents and Settings/djberge/workspace/win32-eventlog/test/
tc_mc.rb:10: warning: parenthesize argument(s)

rake_test_loader.rb:5
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [c:/ruby/bin/ruby -w -Ilib;lib "c:/
ruby/lib...]

Where lines 9 and 10 of tc_mc.rb looks like this:

require 'rubygems'
gem require 'test/unit'

What's the proper way to do this?

Thanks,

Dan
