Where the hell did I say that?

The suggestion I've made TWICE is worthwhile to anyone wanting to diagnose their problem. It might not be worthwhile to you since you seem to want to hear something completely different from what I'm saying. You provided: > - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/gotgritc/ruby/gems and: > gotgritc@xyz.us [~/]# gem which xmlsimple > /home/gotgritc/ruby/gems/gems/xml-simple-1.1.1/lib/xmlsimple.rb and: > gotgritc@xyz.us [~]# ruby -rubygems -e 'require "xmlsimple"' > /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36 As you can see... "/usr/lib/ruby" != "/home/gotgritc/ruby/gems" which means... AGAIN... that you're most likely not running 'gem' and 'ruby' from the same install. AGAIN to diagnose: > Try 'which ruby' vs 'which gem'. -- I know that you believe you understand what you think I said but, I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
