hirb and merb console

[RailinAndWailin]

Hey all.

any idea why i can't seem to load hirb (http://tagaholic.me/2009/03/13/
hirb-irb-on-the-good-stuff.html) into the merb -i console?

I should know this, though I can't even require 'rubygems' inside of
the console... require'hirb' returns false as well.

~/.irbrc loads hirb for me in irb and its worked out for me in the
Rails console, even though I'm using zsh.
