I seem to have run right into my ignorance again.
Working on Kubuntu Linux 8.04.1, I've a fresh compile of ruby 1.8.6. Irb
runs. I have installed rubygems from the adept package manager - the
install produced no errors of any kind. I've installed a number of gems,
including the marvelous webby, which I'm now trying to use it (I have
considerable experience with it). I'm not getting anywhere. To wit:
$ webby
bash: webby: command not found
$
On a hunch, I did this:
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
LoadError: no such file to load -- rubygems
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require 'webby'
LoadError: no such file to load -- webby
from (irb):2:in `require'
from (irb):2
irb(main):003:0> require 'activerecord'
LoadError: no such file to load -- activerecord
from (irb):3:in `require'
from (irb):3
irb(main):004:0>
I don't understand what's happening. Is this a path problem? If so, how
do I fix it? I've change my path before, so that's not an issue. I just
don't know what is needed here, if anything.
Finally, if one needs to modify the path, manually, after any of these
things I've just done (installation of ruby, rubygems, and a bunch of
gems), why isn't that stated somewhere so perpetual amateurs like me can
get a clue? I'm not born knowing this stuff.
I'd be really grateful for any help offered.
