I could make ruby-agi-1.0.0.gem by executing
gem build <gemspec>

But problem is here:

[beeplove@vpn ruby-agi]$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=3D> true
irb(main):002:0> require_gem 'ruby-agi'
ruby-agi
LoadError: no such file to load -- ruby-agi

I am not sure, where I am doing wrong. Would anybody please show my mistake=

show my mistake

Between building a gem and using that gem, you probably have to
install it.

Ohh yes, I did it by using,
gem install --local ruby-agi-1.0.0.gem
And getting the error posted in my earlier message.
Sorry, forgot to metion this step.

Hello,

First let me show you my gemspec file, [...]
s.files = [
"README",
"LICENSE",
"INSTALL",
"DOWNLOAD",
"extconf.rb",
"lib/agi.rb",
"lib/command.rb",
"lib/asterisk_variable.rb",
"lib/error.rb",
"lib/return_status.rb",
"examples/call_log.rb"
s.require_path = "lib"
s.autorequire = "ruby-agi"

[...]

You autorequire 'ruby-agi', but don't provide a file named 'ruby-agi.rb'
in your lib directory.

I would recommend just dropping the autorequire line. Since modern
versions of RubyGems automatically activates the gems, it is not very
useful.

Your users just need to write:

require 'rubygems'
require 'agi'

No need to invoke require_gem at all (unless you need to specify a
particular version).

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your help.
Yes, I was not using autorequire correctly.
After looking at couple of other project's gemspec, I understood it better.

Thanks again,
Mohammad
