# We replace Ruby’s require with our own, which is capable of

# loading gems on demand.

# 

# When you call require ‘x’, this is what happens:

# \* If the file can be loaded from the existing Ruby loadpath, it

# is.

# \* Otherwise, installed gems are searched for a file that matches.

# If it’s found in gem ‘y’, that gem is activated (added to the

# loadpath).

# 

# The normal require functionality of returning false if

# that file has already been loaded is preserved.

def require(path) # :nodoc:

begin  
if spec = Gem.searcher.find(path)

Sorry if this comes off harsh, but you should not cross-post/write.

See the Ruby-gnome Mailing list/Forum.

It would have been better to decide for one route, and then wait a  
few days before writing a new mail …

Sorry, I did not realize that gnome had its own forum.
