Subject: Debugging failed Ruby Gem require

Hi there,

I'm trying to debug why my Ruby installation cannot find gems even
though we've followed what I think is a standard install.

In this case I'm trying to use micro-optparse and the require fails as
follows:

<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to
load -- micro-optparse (LoadError)
        from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
        from /home/sjalloq/bin/checkout:3:in `<main>'


The gem was installed using 'gem install ...' and I can list the gem:

$ gem list mic

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

micro-optparse (1.1.5)


If I set RUBYLIB to point to the gem installation then it loads but I
thought RUBYLIB was only needed for non-standard installs.

Is my understanding of installing gems correct and if so how do I debug
this further?

$ gem --version
1.3.7

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25) [x86_64-linux]

Thanks, Shareef.
