> Hi, any ideas anyone why a gem wouldn't be found even if I can use it?

I had a similar problem a while back.

I'd upgraded from ruby 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 and the default installation
path changed from /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin.  I upgraded rubygems at
the same time and reinstalled all my gems, so I had two complete
versions of both ruby and rubygems on my system.

After the upgrade things got strange.  When I ran any of my ruby
scripts from the console they worked perfectly, but when I ran them
from the rails app it couldn't find a couple of recently-installed
gems.

It finally dawned upon me that it was a difference in paths:  I was
running the console as user 'root', but the rails app was being run
under a mongrel cluster as user 'mongrel'.  I set a global path to
ruby for all users in /etc/profile and restarted the mongrels, and
suddenly the rails app started working ;-)
