Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] packaging ruby within an RC app

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

If all you need is REXML then going down this road isn't going to make
it easier for you. There's no need at all to bundle libruby etc unless
the version of REXML you want to use doesn't work with 1.8.2, which I
don't think...?

Like Laurent said it's a pure ruby lib, so you can require it just
like any ruby source file. Depending on how REXML internally requires
files you might not even need to set the load path, although this
could be handy in general.
So maybe this might work: require "#{path_to_bundle_resources}/lib/REXML"
