If you're not running in a bundler environment, then certainly you can simply do this: require 'rubygems' require 'zip/zip' and you'll be good to go. But inside an application that is running bundler, I have found that it's much better to stay with one approach -- do it the bundler way -- and let it sort out the dependencies and load order and everything else. Fewer moving parts that way. Walter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
