Subject: Problem getting gems in linux

Hi, I've been learning ruby for a few weeks now and still finding my
ground with it. I'm making a simple application and discovered I needed
to use something from the gem library. I thought I had everything
installed, but seem to be having a problem importing something. Could
someone offer some advice about this error? I'm not sure what it means.

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require "highline/system_extensions"
LoadError: no such file to load -- highline/system_extensions
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
  from (irb):2
  from :0
irb(main):003:0>

I'm using LinuxMint9 (ubuntu based) with ruby 1.8 and gems 1.8. I also
installed some extra stuff that was recommended after I had googled for
the problem. This doesn't seem to have made a difference though.

Has anyone come across this problem before?

TIA,
Leke.
