Subject: Rubygems Problems

Hello all,

Is anyone else having problems with Rubygems?  I'm running Ubuntu 8.10
with Ruby version 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux].  I have
Rubygems 1.3.1 installed from source, and when I run gem -v I get the
expected '1.3.1' printout.  However, if I try to run a Ruby app that
calls for "require 'rubygems'" then "require '<some gem>'", I get the
following, no matter what gem I ask for:

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:96:in
`lib_dirs_for': undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:26:in
`initialize'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:25:in
`each'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:25:in
`initialize'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:684:in `new'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:684:in `searcher'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:683:in `synchronize'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:683:in `searcher'
  from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:34:in
`require'
  from system.rb:2

If I try it without the "require 'rubygems'", I get a 'no such file to
load -- <some gem> (LoadError)', so I know "require 'rubygems'" is
*somewhat* working...

Anyone else having this same issue?
