Cannot load gem in IronRuby

Question

I already removed all environment variables and ruby/ironruby directories and reinstalled it from scratch. And then I installed mocha through igem. Here are my outputs.

$ ir
IronRuby 0.9.1.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.3082
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

>>> require 'mocha'
:0:in `require': no such file to load -- mocha (LoadError)
        from :0

Listing my installed gems. . .

$ igem list --local

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

mocha (0.9.8)
rake (0.8.7)

This is my gem environment.

$ igem environment

require 'rubygems' then require 'mocha' should work in this case. Require'ing rubygems sets up require to be able to find your gems.
