no such file to load Issue
Noah Clark
I have some code that calls a few gems that looks like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'date'
require 'sanitize'
And when I try to run this I get this error:
LoadError: no such file to load -- sanitize
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:54:in `gem_original_require'
And so I then followed the guide and did the following:
noahclark$ gem list sanitize
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
sanitize (2.0.3)
So then:
noahclark$ ruby -rubygems -e 'require "sanitize"'
noahclark$
noahclark$ which ruby
/opt/local/bin/ruby
noahclark$ gem env | grep 'RUBY EXECUTABLE'
- RUBY EXECUTABLE: /opt/local/bin/ruby
So then I tried:
noahclark$ which gem
/opt/local/bin/gem
noahclark$ gem environment

You'll notice my which gem path and my gem environment are not the same. Is this the issue? how do I fix it?

Yes, the differing paths are the issue. How is "some code that calls a few gems" run?

Shotgun maine.rb

Weird, I replied by e-mail and it cut it short.
I am using the command 'shotgun main.rb'
It also causes issues in irb when I try to important it.
I was playing around with nokogiri and it's doing the same thing.
Can I just uninstall all of it and start over? I'd be okay doing that if I knew how.
Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Reinstalling the gem that provided shotgun should switch the ruby used to the /opt installation.
If that doesn't fix it, can you paste the contents of
which shotgun?6 Posted by Brad on 15 Sep, 2011 09:37 PM
I'm having a similar problem. I can require a gem no problems from irb, but when I put the same require into an app, I get the "no such file to load" error. Is it possible to get some more information about how to resolve this? I'm a complete newcomer to all this.

Brad, did you run through the steps I went through? http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/19#page105
Also see:

I'm not sure, but it might be better to open your own issue.
Also, I have resolved my issues.

Thanks for the reply, Noah. I went through those steps and had much the same problem. In my case, the easiest thing to do was to install RVM, set it to the latest Ruby version, and re-build and re-install the gems I was working with. Easy!
