From: Tomas Korcak Date: 2010-12-23T08:03:26+09:00 Subject: Problem with gems (require not working) Hi there, somehow my rubygems got cripled. The problem is ruby/irb is not able to find/locate any of my previously installed gems. The problem is that when I install some gem I am not able to use it (require could not locate that gem). You can see bash output below. I tried to remove/purge/autoremove/install ruby/rubygems/irb many times and still it is not working. Thank you for any ideas provided in advance.
