[Wtr-general] Another question about "no such file to load -- watir (LoadError)"

[Allen Zhou]

Hi charley,

I have installed WATIR 1.4.1 before and used ruby 1.8.1, it worked well. 
And these days, I would like to try the new feature of ruby 1.8.5 and WATIR 1.5,
so I uninstalled ruby 1.8.1 and installed 1.8.5, then I used gem to install WATIR 1.5.
In your email, you said that I should delete watir.rb and any watir directory. Because I installed WATIR 1.4.1 into the ruby directory, it will be uninstalled when ruby was uninstalled.
Then I installed ruby 1.8.5 and WATIR 1.5, I found that the cases which run well before failed with the error no such file to load --watir (LoadError)" 
I copy my cases into WATIR folder just want to find if it is an environment issue.
When I used require 'watir' , I guess that ruby interpreter will first find the library in the current directory and then it will goto %rubyroot%\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems to find the directory 'watir*'. But it can't work now. So I think it may be an environment problem.
How can I sovle it? Need your help! Thanks!
