Have used Rails a bit but am a bit confused as to this problem

Have used Rails a bit but am a bit confused as to this problem that I’m having.

I have two depdencies for xpath, one for 0.1.4 and one for 1.0

if I just run the following, it errors out:

Thu Feb 14$ rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb 
/Users/jt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find xpath (~> 1.0.0) amongst ...

but prepending bundle exec works.

$bundle exec rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb

I am curious how I could get this xpath issue resolved via my Gemfile. I thought this was the type of thing that bundler is supposed to handle. I know that bundle exec is supposed to be normal but I’d prefer to not have to use it.

What am I not undersanding and how do I resolve it?

thx in advance

    Inside your Gemfile, you can force the version of a gem by appending to it the version number. If you require version up to 1.0.0, then you can write

    gem "mygem", "~> 1.0.0"

    You can get more info on how to manage gem versions in the bundler site.
