Did you use?  
‘require\_gem ’

In that case, use ‘require ’  
This is what the error message is telling you.

I have had problems with rubygems 0.9.4 and 0.9.3 on Windows.

My solution was to re-install Ruby which has rubygems 0.9.2, which  
works fine.

My understanding is that it is install a prior version of rubygems  
without having to re-install ruby.

Hopes, this helps.

This is incorrect. It is not necessarily the case that the gem name  
matches the require identity. As an example, Text::Format is provided  
as a gem text-format and is activated with “require ‘text/format’”. As  
to the OP’s problems, I don’t know anything about it right now.
