Thanks for the quick response. I just tried adding this require line to my .caprc but it still generates the same error when I run 'cap -Tv.' I also tried adding a require for rubygems plus adding the absolute path to the capistrano line but they all return the same error.
Just as a general note, I have a very stable ruby and rubygems environment on this machine so it's unlikely a problem in my environment (though that is always possible). Any other suggestions?
