Can someone please tell me how shut RDoc up. Every time I run it I  
get:

lib/facets.rb:49:29: Skipping require of dynamic string: “facets/  
#{lib}”

I’ve tried everything I can think of to suppress this output.

Thanks,  
T.

have you tried:

require “facets/some\_lib”  
require “facets/another\_lib”  
…

You can also of course build up that string and then eval it, but that  
seems particularly nasty. IIRC, this was eventually fixed in newer  
versions of ruby, but I may be mistaken.

Sigh. Yea, guess I will have to.

You can also do:  
%w[foo bar].each{|l| require(“facets/” + l)}  
That will restore your peace 🙂
