Rails - Jul 2005 - require and require_gem in config/environment of rails 0.13.1

the default (as when you first created the site with ''rails
<site_name>'') is :

require ''active_support''
require ''active_record''
require ''action_controller''
require ''action_mailer''
require ''action_web_service''

but it can''t connect to database (i was trying codes in rails4days).
then i changed it to :

require_gem ''activesupport''
require_gem ''activerecord''
require_gem ''actionpack''
require_gem ''actionmailer''
require_gem ''actionwebservice''
require_gem ''rails''

it works. is this a bug ? can someone explain ?

You may have an older version of ruby gems.  Changing require to  
require_gem should not be necessary.  The former works fine under all  
configurations I''ve encountered.

Anyone else have an idea of what might be going on here?
