I’m having some problems including rubygems in rhtml files. I’m on OSX
Tiger and I set up apache to serve rhtml files(herein may lie the
problem). While certain libs load fine ie ‘open-uri’ attempting to
require ‘rubygems’ like so:
##############
\<%
require ‘open-uri’
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘active\_record’
%\>
##############
throws:
##############
Script Error
No such file to load – rubygems

is rubygems a library? is so, giving the full unix path might solve
your problem for now?
what is your $PATH? are you using 1.8.2 or 1.8.4?

Hmm. I have both versions, gems being installed for 1.8.4. Checking
RUBY\_VERSION in an rhtml file apache appears to be using the older
verion while running ruby -v in bash it’s .4 can anyone tell me where I
need to make changes so that systemwide I’m using .4. httpd.conf?
I used Martin Dittus’ howto when setting up apache
