I think I figured out this problem. All you had to do was add this line
to the top of environment.rb
ENV['GEM_PATH'] = '/home/USERNAME/.gems' + ':/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8'
The DH wiki says to put the following, but it didn't seem to work.
ENV['GEM_PATH'] = File.expand_path('~/.gems') +
':/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8'
I actually created a new test project in dev. mode and saw an error
some where like "couldn't expand ~" or "unknown comand expand_path" or
something like that and just put in the absolute path as above on a
whim. Then it worked fine.
