I tried to give Units a try to find out the date difference between two  
days,  
and ran into this:

irb(main):001:0\> require ‘facet/units’  
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory

- /usr/share/calibre/units/standard.yaml  
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:129:in `initialize' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:129:in`load\_file’

from  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/facets-1.0.3/packages/more/lib/facet/units.rb:804  
from  
/usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`require’  
from (irb):1

Is there something I’m missing? Or is this a genuine facets / packaging  
bug?

I’m using (well, trying to use) the 1.0.3 gem version of Facets.

Well, I have to recommend that Facets be installed via the tar.bz2  
using setup.rb, instead of using Gems.

Unfortunately I had forgotten about this, but AFAIK, Gems has no  
support for installing configuration and shared data files. So I’m not  
sure how I’m going to resolve this conflict between Gems and setup.rb  
☹
