Hi guys,

I have some troubles with a Ruby gem… named Bundler. My OS is Ubuntu  
10.04.

My environment is as follows:

```
$ gem env

```
$ ruby -v

```
$ irb1.9.1 -rubygems
irb(main):001:0> require "bundler"
LoadError: no such file to load -- bundler
 from (irb):1:in `require'
 from (irb):1
 from /usr/bin/irb1.9.1:12:in `<main>'

```

I got the same error when I try to start Rails 3:

```
$ rails start
/home/mo/quick_test_2/config/boot.rb:4:in `require': no such file to

```

load – bundler (LoadError)  
from /home/mo/quick\_test\_2/config/boot.rb:4:in `<top (required)>' from script/rails:8:in`require’  
from script/rails:8:in `’

Hi there.

The first thing I notice is that you run `ruby`, with no version number,  
but you run `irb1.9.1`. I don’t have much experience with ruby on  
Ubuntu, but that seems a little weird to me.

The next thing is that you are using ruby 1.9.1. That version of ruby  
has several regressions from 1.8.7 that affect bundler. They are fixed  
in 1.9.2 (which is not released yet). If possible, can you try to  
reproduce the problem with ruby 1.8.7 or ruby 1.9.2, from the latest  
source control version?

If that doesn’t work for you, I strongly suggest visiting the Bundler  
issue tracker at [Issues · rubygems/bundler · GitHub](http://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues) and opening a  
ticket.

Thanks,  
Andre Arko
