From: Steve Klabnik Date: 2012-03-30T01:51:41+09:00 Subject: Re: shoes no such file to load -- rubygems This error happens when you apt-get install shoes; it has an incredibly old version, and we can't upgrade it. :/ Please make sure to _uninstall_ the apt version, because it will NOT work. The _best_ way is to install from source. The linux packages on the site will work _most_ of the time, but we're still working out some kinks. Building from source always works. https://github.com/shoes/shoes/wiki/Building-Shoes-on-Linux
