Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] Bundling Gems/Embedding Rubycocoa

[Eloy D. <elo...@gm...>]

Ah, I forgot to add the the "lib" part of the gem path, which is
usually the only needed search path that a gem needs. (You can check
the gemspec of the gem to see if it needs any additional load paths.)

So try something like: $:.unshift File.join(gem, 'lib')

And maybe inspect the load paths with: p $:
