Ok, I think I've narrow this down a bit. The background to this is that I've installed the library called "win32-file" via rubygems. That library has a dependency on win32-file-stat, which in turn has a dependency on windows-pr, which in turn has a dependency on windows- api which in turn has a dependency on win32-api. You with me so far? It's the win32-api gem (or lack thereof) that's ultimately causing the issue. You see, I'm using a custom built Ruby using VC++ 8.0, so I had to uninstall win32-api (because the current binary gem I have out there is incompatible with my runtime), so that rubygems defaults to the win32-api I've built by hand and installed in Ruby's sitelibdir. At least that's what I thought it would do. And here's where it seems to get confused. Because one of the dependencies itself has a dependency on win32-api, but I've removed the win32-api gem, it dies instead of resorting to gem_original_require as a last ditch effort. I _think_ this can be resolved by rescuing Gem::LoadError in custom_require.rb, but I'm still deciding how to proceed. If anyone has any suggestion in the meantime, I'm all ears.
