Hi to all,

i’m trying to use the gruff libraries.  
Then I’ve installed rmagick with:

sudo gem install rmagick

and it seems all good, because at the end i receive this message:  
…  
make install  
/usr/bin/ruby setup.rb install

post-install.rb: installing documentation…

make clean  
/usr/bin/ruby setup.rb clean  
make[1]: Entering directory  
`/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-1.15.10/ext/RMagick' make[1]: Leaving directory`/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-1.15.10/ext/RMagick’  
Successfully installed rmagick-1.15.10

I’ve installed also gruff like before:

sudo gem install gruff

and the installation works fine…  
When i try to require both RMagick an gruff i receive the same error

no such file to load – gruff

or

no such file to load – RMagick

Any help is appreciate,  
thanks in advance

Is this within rails, or, maybe you didn’t load rubygems?

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘RMagick’

I’ve required the rubygems library…  
I’ve searched in the folder #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/plugins and there is  
one folder for gruff, but there aren’t folders for RMagick…  
Could be this the problem???

thanks

rmagick is a gem, not a plugin so it wouldn’t be there. Where it will  
be installed depends on how you’ve got ruby setup, but its often  
something like /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems.

gem list  
will show you all installed gems
