Gems (1.3.0) not visible from ruby (1.8.7)

Ruby

Hi,

I’m trying to sftp into another server using net-sftp, but the gems I
install are not visible to ruby interpreter.

I’ve installed the net-sftp gem, and it shows fine in gem listing (see
below), but when I try to run a script, the library is not found (see
below).

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Cheers, Joni

E.g. my script file begins with:

require ‘net/sftp’

It should begin with

require “rubygems”

You need to
require ‘rubygems’
first.

Thanks, Ken and Gregory, that worked like a dream! I somehow missed the
bit in the docs…

Cheers,
