madeleine gem problem (or rubygem one)

[gabriele renzi]

Hi gurus and nubys,

I believe I spotted a bug in rubygems or in the packaged gem for
madeleine. I got this:

C:\Documents and Settings\gabriele>gem --rubygems-info
RubyGems:
- VERSION: 1.0
- INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: c:/programmi/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
- GEM PATH:

C:\Documents and Settings\gabriele>irb -r rubygems
irb(main):001:0> require_gem 'madeleine'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require_gem 'madeleine/clock'

Once you've required the gem, you don't need to use "require_gem"
anymore. Just use "require":

require_gem 'madeleine'
require 'madeleine/clock'

It's dying because it can't find a gem called "madeleine/clock', and
indeed there is no such thing.

Any idea why you didn't understand this? Do the docs need to be more
explicit?

Cheers,
Gavin

well, I'd say so.
looking at:
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UserGuide
it should be stated something like
'once you did require_gem(libby) you basically added the 'libby' gem
to $LOAD_PATH, and can then handle it with normal requires'.

Note that I don't think what I wrote is correct, so I'm not going to
update the wiki myself

I added a note to this effect. Thanks!
