Hi!

I’m new to Ruby.

I try to make a “require 'nokogiri”, but get this error:

nationalBanken.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load – nokogiri  
(LoadError)  
from nationalBanken.rb:1

I have tried to install nokogiri both from gems and from a Fedora 10  
package: rubygem-nokogiri.  
I get the same error when I tried with hpricot.

Anyone who can help?

require ‘rubygems’ first.
