Ruby Include Dirs for libs

Florian Assmann

Hi there,

does anybody know which are the default dirs for ruby to search its
..rb's and .so's?

I tried to include postgres-pr but ruby fails finding it. It's residing
in my ruby/gems/1.8/ dir. I don't know it's really installed this way.

Sincerly,

Florian

elven@avariel ~ $ ruby -e 'puts $:'
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i386-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux
.
elven@avariel ~ $

Gems is a somewhat different matter:

require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'activerecord'

If it is in your gems directory, make sure you require rubygems before
requiring the library. Either do an explicit 'require "rubygems"' in
your code, or make sure that the RUBYOPT environment variable is set to
'rubygems'.
