The following terminal session explains the problem. I don't understand how it's possible that I'm getting a load error on an installed gem.
The sailthru gem which isn't loading is something I installed today, which may be relevant. I verified it was installed to the same location as my other gems, and I also tried restarting the Terminal app. I'm using rbenv on a mac. However, I have not installed a new version of ruby for at least a few weeks, and have been using it daily until now without any issues.
Thanks for any help.
$ gem list | grep sailthru
sailthru (1.1.2)
sailthru-client (4.0.1, 2.0.0)
$ cat Gemfile | grep sailthru
gem 'sailthru'
$ cat Gemfile.lock | grep sailthru

$ bundle exec thin start

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'sailthru'
=> true
irb(main):002:0>
There is no sailthru file to require.
You should take a look at the project page.
require 'sailthru'
should be
require 'sailthru/client'
Hope this helps.
EDIT
Just noticed the last part where you gave irb output.
The sailthru.rb file is part of the sailthru-client gem. It is working through irb because irb is not loaded via bundle exec. This means that every gem installed is available in irb.
To fix this (if you need that sailthru-client gem in your app. Add gem 'sailthru-client' to your gem file. Do a bundle install, then run your bundle exec again.
You should not see that error after that. Keep in mind. bundle exec only uses gem libraries that are specified in your Gemfile.

awesome_print looks like a pretty nice gem, so I wanted to try it out.
I went to one of my projects and did:
gem install awesome_print
and it says one gem installed, documentation installed, etc.
Then, while I am in that project, I went to my Rails console to try it out, but when I did a require "awesome_print" as their help file says, I get a "cannot load such file".
Has anyone got this to work?
gem install will put the gem code on your computer, but unless the gem's source code files are on your load path, require won't be able to find them. bundle exec looks at the nearest Gemfile.lock and adds the source code for all the gems listed there to your load path. Rails initialization includes getting Bundler to do this for you.
One solution is to add awesome_print to your Gemfile. However, this will cause your application to have awesome_print as a dependency. Alternatively you can manually add the awesome_print library to your load path after starting up the Rails console and then requiring it:
$ rails c
> $LOAD_PATH << path/to/awesome_print-x.x.x/lib
> require 'awesome_print'
> ap {foo: {bar: {baz: :qux}}}
If you're using RVM, the path is likely to be something like:
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-x.x.x-pxxx#your_gemset_name/gems/awesome_print-x.x.x/lib
Add it to your Gemfile like this:
gem 'awesome_print', :require => 'ap'
I add it to the development group, since that's the only time I need it. The gem doesn't have any other gem dependencies, so I routinely add it to my Gemfile.
Also, add these two lines to your ~/.irbrc file to set ap to be your default pager:
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.irb!
Note that if you use this, however, any projects where awesome_print is not installed in its Gemfile will raise this error when you run rails c:
cannot load such file -- awesome_print
Depending on whatever else you may have in your ~/.irbrc file, this can cause other side effects, such as messing up your prompt. To avoid these, simply add the two lines to the very end of that file.
install it :
$ gem install awesome_print
include it in you GemFile, if you want :
gem 'awesome_print', :require => 'ap'
add this line to the file ~/.irbrc :
require 'awesome_print'
AwesomePrint.irb!
restart your shell!
just a note: I did this and it didnt work right away, probably need to restart the computer... or I just needed to close all shell tabs and open the terminal again!
Install the gem on your machine
gem install awesome_print
Get the path to which it has installed
gem which awesome_print
Add the following configuration to your ~/.irbrc and ~/.pryrc. This will load Awesome Print whenever you fire an IRB or a pry session.
*Remember $LOAD_PATH will hold whatever you got from typing gem which awesome_print
# ~/.irbc and ~/.pryrc
$LOAD_PATH << "~/.asdf/installs/ruby/2.6.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/awesome_print-1.8.0/lib/"
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.irb!
If you are looking to install it without having it in your Gemfile, this is how to do it:
$ gem install awesome_print
I was running into an issue where it was installing successfully but it not in the right directory.
In that case just put this in your .bashrc, this will set the load path:
export PATH="/home/user/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/bin:$PATH"
PATH="`ruby -e 'puts Gem.user_dir'`/bin:$PATH"
replace 2.3.0 with the version of ruby you are working with.
replace user with your username or if you are using vagrant then replace with vagrant
reload your .bashrc or exit the Terminal to reload changes, then install the gem again.
In my case, I struggled with PATHs and such, while missing something obvious!

Solved the problem!
There is probably something I could have told brew to do to fix things, but I was impatient. :-)
I'm sure this question is an easy one for Ruby users. However for me this is a issue I can't figure out by myself.
My goal is to use a script included in the Puppet archive (ext/nagios/check_puppet.rb) on a Ubuntu-10.4 system.
I try to launch the script:
$ sudo ./check_puppet.rb
./check_puppet.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- sys/proctable (LoadError)
from ./check_puppet.rb:4
Ok so there's something missing. I fount out I need some library called sys-proctable available at http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sys-proctable/
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/65609/sys-proctable-0.9.0-x86-linux.gem
[...]
sudo apt-get install rubygems
[...]
$ sudo gem install sys-proctable-0.9.0-x86-linux.gem
Successfully installed sys-proctable-0.9.0-x86-linux
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for sys-proctable-0.9.0-x86-linux...
Installing RDoc documentation for sys-proctable-0.9.0-x86-linux...
Everything looks pretty good so far! Time to launch the script again
$ sudo ./check_puppet.rb
./check_puppet.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- sys/proctable (LoadError)
from ./check_puppet.rb:4
the gem listoutput tells me this:
$ gem list
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
sys-proctable (0.9.0)
Where has this gem been installed?
Why can't the script load the sys-proctable lib?
What the %&$# am I doing wrong?
Where's the official doc of gem?
The gem is installed - but in Ruby 1.8 you need to have the line:
require 'rubygems'
To use rubygems. This changes the 'require' function so it will pull in rubygems when you ask it to.
So in the script:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/ext/nagios/check_puppet.rb
Just add the require near the top and try again.
For instructions on other ways to use rubygems, consult the Rubygems documentation:
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page70
this is what i am getting on centos 6.4

./check_puppet.rb:75:in `-': no implicit conversion to float from nil (TypeError)
from ./check_puppet.rb:75:in `check_state'

i added require 'rubygems'
and installed sys-proctable
I've had a difficult time since I started using rvm. I've done all the rvm/textmate set up and have the latest bundles but I still can't run Rspec test from textmate.
I have the latest bundle from github.com/rspec/rspec-tmbundle.git
and it's installed in ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/
RSpec.tmbundle
RVM default is using the system ruby 1.8.6
Rspec gem versions
gem list --local | grep spec

The Error: rspec/core (LoadError)

The best solution I've found is from Jacques Crocker.
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyversionmanager/browse_thread/thread/64b84bbcdf49e9b?fwc=1
It requires replacing the contents of textmate_ruby with the code below and never running rvm wrapper xxx textmate again.
#!/usr/bin/env sh
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
cd .
exec ruby "$#"
This has also fixed the same issue with the cucumber bundle.
Did you try following the instructions here: http://rvm.io/integration/textmate/
My case is slightly different but took me more than an hour to figure out:
Turns out I ran rvm wrapper ree textmate a while after installing ree with rvm and in the mean time the ree shorthand changed from meaning ree-1.8.7-2010.01 to ree-1.8.7-2010.02
here's more details on my message:
https://gist.github.com/721987
I'm posting it here too because it's one of the first pages I landed onto while trying to figure this one out.
I've got a similar problem and figured out that my textmate ruby wrapper is pointing to a different version. I was able to get it work by putting below content in projectx/.rvmrc
rvm 1.9.2#projectx --create
rvm wrapper 1.9.2#projectx textmate
Hope this helps.
I am on Ubuntu10
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full
then download sources of rubygem 1.3.7 and install it
sudo ruby setup.rb
then, for example, install sinatra
sudo gem install sinatra
Finally open irb and type
require "rubygems"
require "sinatra"
and get error
LoadError: no such file to load -- sinatra
from (irb):2:in `require'
from (irb):2
from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
I had exactly this problem. The problem is that gem and ruby disagree about where the gems live. Compare these:
ruby -e "puts Gem.path"
gem env
gem which sinatra
If you're like my setup, you'll notice that there's an entry in gem env's paths that isn't in Gem.path, and that's exactly where sinatra will claim to be. In my case, I had to add
export GEM_HOME=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
to my .profile. Then everyone was happy.
Execute
sudo gem install sinatra --verbose
and note the path where the gem is getting installed.
Then try this in irb
puts $LOAD_PATH
and make sure that gem is installed in one of the directories in $LOAD_PATH
And ideally just start using http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/
I usually hit this error when I forget:
require 'rubygems'
It'd be helpful if you provided the actual code sample, though, what gem you want to require, and what Ruby version you're using if this doesn't solve the problem.
This was before here on SO quite a few times. Problem is that you probably have two versions of ruby. The one is installing the gem and the other one is trying to use it. Do this in terminal:
$ which -a ruby
Or this:
$ which -a gem
to see if you have more than one version of ruby/gem installed. If so - remove one version (via $ rm or package manager of your system).
I use ruby gems 1.8.7 for a project. I was getting the same error. Use the line require 'rubygems'. It must always be the first require statement, otherwise you can get an error. In my code, I had
require 'watir'
require 'rubygems'
# more code
I got the error - in `require': no such file to load -- watir (LoadError).
When I put rubygems first, the error went away and everything worked. I don't know
why this happens.
Btw, I tried user24359 answer and it did not help me.
C:\code>ruby -e "puts Gem.path"
-e:1: uninitialized constant Gem (NameError)
I'm trying to run a ruby file which imports a gem. The ya2yaml gem is installed, yet somehow it is not found:
$ cat delme.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'ya2yaml'
$ ruby delme.rb
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- ya2yaml (LoadError)
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
from delme.rb:2
I installed the gem using: sudo gem install ya2yaml and I know that the gem is actually installed:
$ gem list --local | grep ya2yaml
ya2yaml (0.26)
Also, the following works from a rails program I just downloaded:
sudo rake gems
However the following fails:rake gems
Which leads me to think that there may be a permissions problem somewhere.
Why can't the gem be found? What can I do to diagnose this?
Thanks!
The thing I would do in a situation like this:
Search for the gem's location on your system. Use this command:
find / -name ya2yaml
Check that the found directory is added to your PATH system variable by doing this:
echo $PATH
If the path where ya2yaml gem is located is not listed in the PATH variable's value, add it:
PATH=$PATH:/gem/location/directory
export PATH
I hope you'll find these steps helpful. Good luck!
Instead of require 'rubygems' inside delme.rb, try starting ruby with -rubygems:
$ ruby -rubygems delme.rb
I've certainly seen this error before. Unfortunately I don't know what causes it. I do know that if you see it on Linux and you've installed gem via your package manager (synaptic / yum / etc) then you can generally fix it by installing gem by hand from their website. The instructions there are pretty straight-forward.
(Your command line looks unix-y, so it seems to me that you may be on Linux. If you're on a Mac, it's certainly worth trying anyway.)
UPDATE: Linux, then. Ta.
