Ruby 1.9.0 - no such file to load — ubygems (LoadError)

May 15, 2007

Remember the old days when I ran Ruby 1.8.2 only, I got similar message from Ruby 1.9.0 (ruby-1.9.0-20060415-i386-mswin32.zip)

"C:\Ruby1.9\bin>irb
C:\Ruby1.9\bin\ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

C:\Ruby1.9\bin>"

This the result from the last installation from Ruby 1.8.6, since the Distribution for Ruby 1.9.0 Does not include rubygems, so you must remove the Environment Variables that Ruby will lookup for the options.

RUBYOPT = -rubygems
