Hi Alex My host - 600host offers a system wherby you install gems directly by selecting from a list. The gem then appears on my list of gems.
On closer inspection though, my gems are installed in a specific folder: ------ Ruby Gems are are collections of functions that allow you to perform tasks in Ruby. You will need to install a Gem before you can use it inside a Ruby program. Note: Gems are installed directly from the RubyForge repository. Location of Your Ruby Gem(s) Path: /home/thinkers/ruby/gems Using Your Ruby Gem(s) You will need to add /home/thinkers/ruby/gems to the include path. You can do this by adding the following code to your script: $:.push("/home/thinkers/ruby/gems") -------- any idea where in my script I would add "$:.push("/home/thinkers/ruby/ gems")" ? You reckon this would solve the problem?
