no such file to load -- watir (LoadError)

[pallavi shashidhar]

Hi there,
I have installed Ruby 1.8.6-26 and did a gem update --system and then installed a local watir gem .
I installed watir using "gem install watir -dir /watir1.5.6"
When i try to run the scripts, i get the following error:
"C:/Ruby1.8.6-26/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- watir (LoadError)
    from C:/Ruby1.8.6-26/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'"

Need to know what could be the problem.

Regards,
Pallavi

Hi,
I was able to do an update and install watir successfully. Only problem with running the scripts.
As for your case, i think you could not connect to the server for update.
