Hi, I've got Ruby 1.8.4 compiled and installed on a Ubuntu box. I installed rubygems 0.8.11. I then installed the postgres gem. Everything went ok. Doing a "gem list postgres" shows the postgres gem. So, when I fire up irb and do irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => true irb(main):002:0> require 'postgres' LoadError: no such file to load -- postgres from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require' from (irb):2 That's not good. Why???! Thanks, Joe
