I have considered gems (still unsure how to 'serve' them privately), but 
since you brought it up, the scenario that prompted this message was 
that it was precisely an installed gem that was causing my problems -- 
the mysql one.

I installed it on a fresh server and discovered that it was not 
automatically being found (but it was being found on my dev box). I 
output $LOAD_PATH and AFAICT there were no paths that pointed to any GEM 
folders, so I am having to do that manually in my app code.

My own libraries I am not having any problems with, it was the 
differences in GEM paths between the OSes that was causing my problem.
