irb can see the gem but ruby can't

[peter]

Hey all,

I am not sure if this is a Leopard on Ruby problem or some other quirk (or
maybe I am just horribly overlooking something) but...:

Macintosh:manav mbp$ irbrequire 'yahoofinance'
Macintosh:manav mbp$ ruby yahoo_test.rb
yahoo_test.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- yahoofinance
(LoadError)
from yahoo_test.rb:1

i.e. irb can see the gem but ruby can't...
Any ideas?

Cheers,
Peter

your ~/.irbrc has:

require "rubygems"

Probably your .irbrc requires rubygems while your script doesn't.

HTH,
