Hi all - a search for this kind of problem only brought back results for  
specific solutions to the gem or library in question.

I’m getting the following error appear at certai times,  
like when trying to refresh my gems specs:

`You are missing some libs #<MissingSourceFile: no such file to
load -- bdb>`

How would I go about debugging this?

- I do not have this gem installed
- I cant see where my app is using search (search for bdb yields no  
results)

Any ideas?

Thanks
