Hello,
I am running FreeBSD 7.1 RELENG and I have installed ruby 1.9 using the
port in /usr/ports/lang/ruby19. I have installed a gem named tmail that
I want to include in my script. According to the ruby docs, I should be
able to just say:
require 'tmail'
However, this fails and reports that it cannot find the gem. If I use
the folloowing statements:
require 'rubygems'
gem 'tmail'
require 'tmail'
I can load the gem and use it. I also get 20 or so warning messages
like the following:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rubygems/defaults.rb:11: warning: method
redefined; discarding old default_sources
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rubygems/defaults.rb:19: warning: method
redefined; discarding old default_dir
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rubygems/defaults.rb:31: warning: method
redefined; discarding old user_dir
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rubygems/defaults.rb:39: warning: method
redefined; discarding old default_path
...
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rubygems.rb:46: warning: method redefined;
discarding old gem
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rubygems.rb:306: warning: method redefined;
discarding old dir
...
It would appear that I am redefining methods that are already defined,
both with the require 'rubygems' statement and the gem 'tmail'
statement.
However, if I don't include these 2 statements in my source, the
require 'tmail' statement fails with the following error:
./test.rb:24:in `require': no such file to load -- tmail (LoadError)
from ./test.rb:24:in `<main>'
Is there some problem with the rubygems support that is built in to
ruby19?
Thanks,
Kim
