Description

=begin
Below scenario works fine with ruby 1.9.2 but not with 1.8.7.

Scenario:

  1. I install ruby using Windows Installer rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p302.exe
  2. Installed version is: ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-mingw32]
  3. I install some gem using gem.bat from bin directory
  4. In irb I require the gem
  5. Require fails as on below console output

I tried with other gems too.

== CONSOLE OUTPUT ==

C:\Programs\ruby-1.8.7\bin>gem.bat list

Intended. RubyGems integration is a 1.9 feature.

=begin
My mistake. One has to use require 'rubygems' in non-rails app in Ruby < 1.9 in order to be able to use any gem.
