Installed a particular gem via Windows command-line with administrator privileges. Browsed to C:\Ruby200\bin and installed like so:


gem install some-gem

Everything appeared to install correctly. Now, trying to load a library, like so:


require 'some-gem'

Results in the following error:


J>;test_gem_require
--- Lich: test_gem_require active.
--- Lich: error: cannot load such file -- some-gem
C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
--- Lich: test_gems has exited.

"some-gem" is an actual gem, but irrelevant to the the issue. I am not a Ruby dev, but learning. Do I need to reference a different path? What am I doing wrong?

Okay. "some-gem" is actually two gems: sinatra (http://www.sinatrarb.com/), and twilio-ruby (https://www.twilio.com/docs/libraries/ruby). The intent is to create a GS-to-SMS system to notify the user of regex-based matches from the game feed (invasion in progress, in this case). Possible, or no?

Very possible.

what does ` ruby -rubygems -e 'p Gem.ruby' ` say when you type it into a terminal, without backticks. If you hop into the Gemstone Slack someone can probably help easier as well.

Returns the following:

"C:/Ruby200/bin/ruby.exe"

Where can I access the Gemstone Slack?

Word from the shadows would be:

https://gemstone-iv-slackin.herokuapp.com/

Checking it out now. Thanks!

The issue was that the "add executables to path" option had not been checked during Ruby install. Reinstalled with option checked, and we're in business. Thanks to those who helped me figure this out.

Sinatra won't work btw. "get" from Sinatra conflicts with "get" from lich. So you'll have to change one of them.
