From: Jason Lillywhite Date: 2009-06-04T14:46:58+09:00 Subject: why is require 'rubygems' sometimes needed? I noticed that some libraries (such as wx or gnuplot) need to have require 'rubygems' before the require of the actual library of interest. But some other libraries (such as gsl) do not require this. Can someone explain why this is the case? Thank you! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
