Hi,
Page 183 of Programming Ruby, talking about the $: load path variable,
states: “You can always add additional directories to this array from
within your running program”. So why can’t I do this in
environment.rb:
$:.concat(Dir["/home/jhughes/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8"]) # path points
at my install of rubygems
and then have
require 'rubygems'
work in boot.rb?
Here’s the error log (just trying to get CGI working right now):
[Mon May 29 14:12:32 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.112]

I have RUBYLIB set appropriately in my bash_profile and can “require
‘rubygems’” in irb, but nothing works trying to make this available to
Apache. I’ve also tried adding -I to the shebang line, concatting to
ADDITIONAL_LOAD_PATHS in various locations, and probably a few other
things I can’t remember. Same result every time.
