.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- app (LoadError)

Works with ruby 1.8 . Why?

Answer 1

I think it’s because 1.9.2 no longer includes ‘.’ in the load path by default.

See the this question for more: Why does Ruby 1.9.2 remove "." from LOAD_PATH, and what's the alternative?
