load a local gem while an older lib version still exists

[Edouard Dantes]

Hi

I have installed the mechanize 0.9.0.gem on ubuntu.

The older mechanize-hpricot installed from the ubuntu repository is
still the default.

How can i load/make the new version the default?

Note that i want to keep the old one because i have already written a
few things that need it.

thanks for your comments

Assuming the gem name is "mechanize", put this
_before_ calling require:

gem "mechanize", ">= 0.9.0"
