just add this to the Gemfile

gem “ruby_mapscript”

and execute “bundle install”.

Then, You don’t need to require it manually

When the rails application start, it will require it automatically.

Even if you add the gem to your system gem path, a rails application
doesn’t use it.
We have to add it to a Gemfile. You can find the Gemfile at the root
directory of your rails application.

make sure install bundler, before you hit the bundle install.
execute this to install bundler

gem install bundler

Sorry, Rails2 must be somthing different from 3 or 4.

I looked into the ruby_mapscript gem.

I ran the test… then failed. The gem might be broken.
