Unable to locate config file.

[Ch Ba]

I have a gemmed command line utility that requires a configuration
file. The configuration file is included in the gem and installs in the
base directory. A file in /lib needs to load it, but I am unable to do
so. Calling '../config.yml' does not locate it, nor does anything else
I've tried so far as the current directory is just wherever the command
line utility is being run from. How can I locate this configuration file
in a friendly os independent way?

Try

File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'..','config.yml')
