i get a cyclic prob using ruby gems , each time i upgrade Ruby and/or  
rubygems i get odd errors.

my setup :  
Mac OS X 10.4.8  
~%\> ruby --version  
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [powerpc-darwin8.8.0]  
~%\> gem --version  
0.9.0

the first error message i got i s when testing Gruff following advices  
found in “Cocoa Magic for Gruff Graphs”  
[http://www.rubycocoa.com/cocoa-magic-for-gruff-graphs](http://www.rubycocoa.com/cocoa-magic-for-gruff-graphs)

here it is :  
~/Desktop/gruff-0.2.4%\> ruby  
/Users/yvon/Desktop/gruff-0.2.4/test/test\_line.rb  
opt/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- rubycocoa (LoadError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require’  
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/osx/cocoa.rb:11  
from  
/opt/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem\_original\_require’

the second one is under XCode affter a successfull build when the app is  
launching (tose apps are suppose to be workable because theyr are  
samples coming from  
[http://www.rubycocoa.com/rubification-central/1#page1](http://www.rubycocoa.com/rubification-central/1#page1) by name  
“DOMTreeView” and “Downloader”), bothn of them got the same error  
message :
