Hi,

I installed the require ruby gems and it is there in the lib  
directory …

but when i tried to call it using require its not working

1. with irb: i tired require ‘rubygems’ its throwing me false  
and for require ‘scrubyt’ its throwing the below given error message

LoadError: no such file to load – parse\_tree\_reloaded  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:  
27:in `ge m_original_require' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 27:in`re  
quire’  
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/scrubyt-0.3.0/lib/

short term fix  
use gem\_original\_require and supply the full path
