Hi,

I am new to ruby and gem and I have installed a few gems (rails and
deps) in userdir.

$ HOME=$HOME/html gem list rails

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rails (1.1.0)
Web-application framework with template engine, control-flow layer,
and ORM.


So gem seems to find the installed rails but:


$ HOME=$HOME/html ruby/bin/rails
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:204:in `report_activate_error': Could not
find RubyGem rails (> 0) (Gem::LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:141:in `activate'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in `require_gem_with_options'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in `require_gem'
from ruby/bin/rails:17


In $HOME/html is a .gemrc file with configured gemhome and gempath.


So what I have to do so that the gem is found at execution?

Some additional info:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require_gem 'rake'
Gem::LoadError: Could not find RubyGem rake (> 0.0.0)

from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:204:in
`report_activate_error'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:141:in `activate'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in
`require_gem_with_options'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in `require_gem'
from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0> require 'rake'
=> true
irb(main):004:0

So rake.rb is found but require_gem doesn't find gem rake?!

Please, please, help me

Add a list of user repositories to the GEM_PATH environment variable.

Thank you Jim.
Oh, yes, with environment variable GEM_PATH it works. Why not with
..gemrc gempath? Seems that only the gem tool uses that config.
