Unable to "require" installed gems

Rails
1

Hi,

I’ve installed sqlite3 (via the instructions at
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUseSQLite), and all went
well

OSX 10.4.7

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.6.0]

and sqlite3.rb is in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.1.0/lib

but I can’t <require ‘sqlite3’>

caw$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require ‘sqlite3’
LoadError: no such file to load – sqlite3
from (irb):1:in `require’
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0>

and when I look at the load path
irb(main):002:0> $:
=> [“/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8”,
“/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.6.0”,
“/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby”, “/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8”,
“/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.6.0”, “.”]

the path to the gems directory doesn’t seem to be there.

What’s the missing piece of the puzzle?

Thanks for your help

Chris

First, you must require rubygems, then require sqlite3.
