If you’re seeing tons of those messages like I’ve been and wondering what in the world that is all about. After Googling around I finally found a definitive answer on Jason Young’s Blog what it was all about.
What is it
Since rubygems 0.9.0 the command require_gem has been deprecated in favor of just plain gem. Part of the reasoning for it going the way of the dodo is tied to some
problems with autorequire. I don’t know any of the deep voodoo that powers rubygems but uh.. okay.. sure.
How to fix it
If you’re still getting these warnings you’re recommended to try re-installing all gems you might have installed if you have a 0.9.0 or lower installation. Happy Ruby Hacking.
