Something can’t be right… notebook:~# gem install calendar\_grid Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] Y Successfully installed calendar\_grid-1.0.2 Successfully installed activesupport-1.3.1 Installing ri documentation for calendar\_grid-1.0.2… Installing ri documentation for activesupport-1.3.1… Installing RDoc documentation for calendar\_grid-1.0.2… Installing RDoc documentation for activesupport-1.3.1… ri CalendarGrid returns nothing. So where would the docs be? ---

New Problem: irb can’t see it. require ‘calendar\_grid’ returns LoadError: no such file to load – calendar\_grid from (irb):3:in `require’ from (irb):3 from :0 So this kind of sucks. I made the assumption that it would just work. I’ll assume there is some path that’s fuggered up. I’ll think about fixing it later, it’s an annoyance. But the other question that came up while I was staring at this is: if I install ‘calendar\_grid’ then how am I supposed to know that the object name is ‘CalendarGrid’ and how do you keep the two in your head for the 100’s of objects? I found it by reading the source file of the gem I installed. ---
