This is new in 1.3.6 (on a mac 10.5 , ruby 1.8.7)

When I install a gem with native code, it doesn't load. My current example is json, but thin is just as bad (and used to work)
So I do
lightning:~ auringosta$ sudo gem install json
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed json-1.2.3
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for json-1.2.3...
Installing RDoc documentation for json-1.2.3...
lightning:~ auringosta$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'json'
LoadError: no such file to load -- json

    from (irb):1:in `require'

But when I go to the directory and require it works. Ie
lightning:~ auringosta$ cd /opt//local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/json-1.2.3/lib/
lightning:lib auringosta$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'json'
=> true

Seems to me the internal paths are not working so well. I wouldn't know where to look, but as it used to work, I think it's safe to assume it's a bug.

Thanks for help/fixes

PS: Anotherone that used to work was: gem used to install automatically into home directory if global was not writable. Not it just throws an error.

   did you require 'rubygems'? It works for me:

   $ gem list json -i true
   $ ruby -rubygems -e 'require "json"' $

   Going to resolve this one, if you're still seeing it feel free to open it back up.
