Adds a Ruby Gem to the $LOAD_PATH. Before a Gem is loaded, its
required Gems are loaded. If the version information is omitted,
the highest version Gem of the supplied name is loaded. If a Gem
is not found that meets the version requirement and/or a required
Gem is not found, a Gem::LoadError is raised. More information on
version requirements can be found in the Gem::Version
documentation.
The gem directive should be executed before any require statements
(otherwise rubygems might select a conflicting library version).
You can define the environment variable GEM_SKIP as a way to not
load specified gems. you might do this to test out changes that
haven't been intsalled yet. Example:
GEM_SKIP=libA:libB ruby-I../libA -I../libB ./mycode.rb
gem: [String or Gem::Dependency] The gem name or
dependency instance.
version_requirement: [default=">= 0.0.0"] The version requirement.
return: [Boolean] true if the Gem is loaded,
otherwise false.
raises: [Gem::LoadError] if Gem cannot be found, is
listed in GEM_SKIP, or version requirement
not met.

I’d guess that you haven’t installed the gem correctly, so it isn’t in
the right location for “require” to work.
That certainly looks like my problem. Since I have tried reloading Ruby
Gems through RVM twice (and since RVM is supposed to be the most
reliable way of installing Ruby) how do I fix this problem?
