So, uh, where's my gem?

[Zeekar]

$ sudo gem install net-sftp
Successfully installed net-sftp-2.0.1

$ ri net-sftp
Nothing known about net-sftp

Can anyone help me figure out where my gem wound up? I've confirmed
that gem and irb and ri are all pointing at the same Ruby install
tree...

Try "require 'net/sftp'"

$ irb -rubygems -rnet-sftp

-r is hardcoded, it can't be overridden by rubygems.

as Michael said, you need -e "require 'net/sftp'; blahblah"
