fxruby users - Jun 2005 - problem with require

Hello, 

When I try to test the fxruby gem installation from irb I get the following:

require ''rubygems''
False

although, when I do:

require ''fox12'' I get True...

What can I do to fix this problem?

Regards,

Nick Tzanos

This is a little confusing, but require returns false if you try to require
a library that has already been loaded. I suspect that what''s happening
in
your case is that the RUBYOPT environment variable is set to
"rubygems", and
as a result, the "rubygems" library is automatically
require''d when the Ruby
interpreter is launched. As a result, your subsequent call to require
''rubygems'' fails.

Note that this peculiarity of how require works has nothing to do with
FXRuby (or with RubyGems, for that matter).

Submit a Ruby Change Request (RCR), I suppose? Although I don''t imagine
many
people would support this change since (for better or worse) this is how
require has worked for some time now.
