Title Body

I'm trying to get some gems working on a web-host which supports ruby and some ruby gems, but not some of the ones I need to use. Following the instructions I found here , I kept the original gem location in my gem path, and added my own at /path/to/my/home/gems to ~/.gemrc gemhome: /users/home/myuser/gems gempath: - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 - /users/home/mysuser/gems I downloaded some gems manually and did installs using the --local and --install-dir options of the gem command. I then did a "gem list", and can in fact see the gems I installed in my user directory, as well as the original gems in the normal system path. If I kick on IRB or do a ruby -e, all the system gems work fine. However, I can't get my user directory installed gems loaded: $ ruby -r rubygems -e "require 'nokogiri'" /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__': no such file to load -- nokogiri (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require' from -e:1 I even tried the old school require_gem: $ irb -r rubygems irb(main):001:0> require_gem 'nokogiri' Gem::LoadError: Could not find RubyGem nokogiri (> 0.0.0) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:204:in `report_activate_error' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:141:in `activate' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in `require_gem_with_options' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in `require_gem' from (irb):1 From my "gems list" I can see: nokogiri (1.3.3) Nokogiri is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser I have this same problem with all the user-directory install gems. What am I missing here? EDIT: This is not
