Subject: Gem install or usage problem in shared environment

I am moving to a Westhost shared CPanel account and I am trying to set
up my environment for my application but there must be something I am
forgetting.

I am installing external gems and trying to use them. curl, xmlsimple
and fsdb

They install ok and 'gem which gemname' finds them, but 'require'
gemname fails

gotgritc@xyz.us [~/]# gem which xmlsimple
/home/gotgritc/ruby/gems/gems/xml-simple-1.1.1/lib/xmlsimple.rb
gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# gem which curl
/home/gotgritc/ruby/gems/gems/curl-0.0.9/lib/curl.rb
gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# gem which fsdb
/home/gotgritc/ruby/gems/gems/fsdb-0.7.2/lib/fsdb.rb
gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# ruby -rubygems -e 'require "xmlsimple.rb"'
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- xmlsimple.rb (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require'
from -e:1
gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# ruby -rubygems -e 'require "xmlsimple"'
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- xmlsimple (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require'
from -e:1
gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# ruby -rubygems -e 'require "curl"'
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- curl (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in

gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# ruby -rubygems -e 'require "curl.rb"'
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- curl.rb (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
`require'
from -e:1
gotgritc@xyz.us [~]#

my gem enviroment is:

RubyGems Environment:

-----------

One of the gems is installed at

gotgritc@xyz.us [~/ruby]# find . -name xmlsimple.rb
./gems/gems/xml-simple-1.1.1/lib/xmlsimple.rb
gotgritc@xyz.us [~/ruby]#

is /home/gotgritc/ruby/gems/gems correct?

the first gems directory only has a gems subdirectory in it

it really bugs me that 'gem which' works but 'require' does not.
Could it be a problem with 'custom_require'?
