I am using Aptana RadRail framework. Some times, after installing and  
trying to use new gem i getting error like this

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- soap4r (LoadError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`require’  
from main.rb:12

Also problem happens with nokogiri and zlib

It happens with diferent gems(but not with all). Also it depend from  
machine - done at one and error at another(machines have equals programs  
installed). Of course, i checked property “Installed interprenters”.  
Fount no help from google.

Thanks!

Did you try to require ‘rubygems’ before requiring your other gems?

Maybe the dependency spec in gem description is incomplete. Try to  
install the missing package first.

I encountered similar problem when I try to install rails right after  
ruby installation.
