Require error in gems

Ruby
1

I have installed rubyzip gems .

I have it jolly well in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rubyzip-0.9.1

Now in irb i get

C:\ruby>irb
irb(main):001:0> require ‘rubyzip’
LoadError: no such file to load – rubyzip
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:

quire’
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0>

why so any hint.

You will need to include rubygems first:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘rubyzip’

Sorry - ignore that - it looks like you must already be including
rubygems somehow as your error comes from gems, not the standard
require.

For some reason best known to the gem author, the actual incantation is:

require ‘rubygems’ # if this is not previously included
require ‘zip/zip’

Have a look at the scripts in the sample directory inside the installed
gem for more clues.

Can you try with require ‘rubygems’ before your require ‘rubyzip’ ?

Thanks
