rubygems support issue

Hi,

Where should I go for a rubygems support question?

And if anyone here wants to take a crack, I'm getting a variety of
errors. This is on FreeBSD RELENG. From an irb session, 'require
rubygems' appears to evaluate properly, but then requiring any specific
gem evaluates to false.

Likewise when working from the main ruby interpreter. No error is given
other than any reference to a required gem is uninitialized.

Oddly enough, a simple test of one gem I have installed, linguistics,
does appear to work partly. Although the 'require 'linguistics' '
evaluates to false, it does appear to run some code, and gives me a
path error when attempting to enclude the 'en' linguistics extension.

So I suspect there's something wrong in the path configuration of my
rubygems install.

Hi! ruby-talk will work, or there's always the rubygems-developers
list on RubyForge.

Are you doing require_gem or require? Also, can you tell us your
"ruby -v" and "gem -v"?

I'm afraid there's a problem with the linguistics gem (my fault), so
it might not be a good one to test with. RedCloth or BlueCloth are
always nice simple ones to test with when you're having gems-related
issues.

The output of "gem env" might also be helpful.

Thanks!

Well, I've played around a bit more, still baffled:

Redcloth was working a few days ago. The only thing that's changed is I
did a gem install sqlite3-ruby


> ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-freebsd4]
> gem -v
0.8.4
> gem list

Using -rubygems, -r rubygems, etc doesn't appear to make a difference.

Well, while I haven't discovered my issue, it's working now.

I think it's high time to replace this aging box and get up on a more
recent version of the OS... it seems haunted.

Thanks Chad.
