Looking at what ubuntu actually packages in the ruby-rspec-core package (
http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/all/ruby-rspec-core/filelist) that
package doesn't include what you'd need to "require 'rspec'".

However, the ruby-rspec package (which depends on ruby-rspec-core and
others) does (http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/all/ruby-rspec/filelist --
specifically note: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/rspec.rb).

Now, if it's the case that you already have the ruby-rspec package
installed and it still doesn't work, then you could help us help you by
giving us the output of: ruby -e 'puts $:'
