Rubygems recently changed the name ofone of its internal methods, and so this warning just about this change. As soon as all the appropriate developers update calls to this method, these warnings will go away 🙂 so just smile as they wave on by… they’re not here to harm… Sam A. * * * > **[Sam Aaron - A Communicative Programmer](http://sam.aaron.name)** > > Dr. Sam Aaron is a software architect and computational thinker with a deep fascination with the notion of communicative programming. ---

Well, if you, like me, get annoyed by that warning, you may easily replace all instances of ‘require\_gem’ with ‘gem’ in your config/boot.rb Your sincerely, Damian/Three-eyed Fish
