Ah, this helps a little - I will stop requiring rubygems.

Of course, the correct thing:
require File.join( File.dirname( File.expand_path(__FILE__)), 'lib',
'helpers', 'precious')
..is also a relative require!

And I don't understand:
* Don't use a relative lookup for any ,rb or .so/.dll loading. PERIOD.
