GEMs not installing properly

Ruby
1

Hi,
I’m having trouble with the KirbyBase gem. I installed it, using:

gem install KirbyBase.

It appeared to install. I’ve done it 2 or 3 times now. And, when I type:

gem list --local,

it lists KirbyBase 2.6.

But, when I try and run some code with KirbyBase required at the top, it
gives me an error, “no such file to load.”

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\KirbyBase-2.6\examples\csv_import_test>csv_import
_test.rb
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/KirbyBase-2.6/examples/csv_import_test/csv_import
_test.rb:3:in `require’: no such file to load – kirbybase (LoadError)
from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/KirbyBase-2.6/examples/csv_import_te
st/csv_import_test.rb:3

Thanks,
Peter

Is your RUBYOPT environment variable set to “rubygems”, as described
in this section of the RubyGems User’s Guide?

http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/3

If not, I suspect that’s the problem.

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Lyle’s advice is probably what you need to know.

This is what it looks like for me, using ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14)
[i386-mswin32], installed with OneClickInstaller 184-19:

C:\localapp\Program
Files\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\KirbyBase-2.6\examples\csv_import_test>ruby
csv_import_test.rb
Records imported: 11

Have you set up the RubyGems environment to use the gem you installed?

http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page70

Thank you all for your help. Yes, it works perfectly now. No, I didn’t
know about setting up that environment variable. I just installed 1.8.5
the other day, not using the one-click installer.

Thanks again.
Peter
