Hi everyone,

Are all gems freezable? I’ve got all the gems my application requires  
in my vendor folder. However, when I start it in a computer without  
some of those gems installed, I get errors. The error goes away when  
I install the gem in the system.

This happens to me with RedCloth, for example.

Thanks,  
Ramon T.
