Hi: Im working on my hosting linux platform and Im trying to use custom gems not that default installed on /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 I installed gems on $HOME/apps/lib/gems/1.8 I export: export GEM_HOME=$HOME/apps/lib/gems/1.8 export GEM_PATH=$HOME/apps/lib/gems/1.8 I got rails 1.1.2 rails -v shows Rails 1.1.2 but on a page using dispatch.rb I got /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.1/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:120:in `log'' this shows that the default gem path is used. I dont know where to specify the paths for gems thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
