Have you tried actually using it?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- root@bpocanada-desktop:/home/bpocanada/test2# irb irb(main):001:0> require 'RMagick' LoadError: no such file to load -- RMagick from (irb):1:in `require' from (irb):1 irb(main):002:0> exit

it's a gem, so if you don't load rubygems then you can't require it

Here anything missing like PATH of some directories ?

and when i do irb -rubygems -r RMagick instead of irb ? like following !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- root@bpocanada-desktop:/home/bpocanada/test2# irb -rubygems -r RMagick irb(main):001:0> require 'RMagick' => false irb(main):002:0>

Here it should be True ? or False ?

if the require doesn't through an exception it means that the library has been loaded (or in this case was already loaded)

They're wrong. You're requiring it twice (once with the -r flag, once explicitly), so it's perfectly normal for the second require to return false because require won't load the same path twice.

OK i understand what u want to say but ... if i do following command then ( irb with out any -r option to load RMagick) and then if i do require 'RMagick' then it will give me like following !!! why ?

root@bpocanada-desktop:/home/bpocanada/test2# irb irb(main):001:0> require 'RMagick' LoadError: no such file to load -- RMagick         from (irb):1:in `require'         from (irb):1 irb(main):002:0> exit

because you need to require rubygems first.
