How to use rails3 with RedCloth. require 'RedCloth' not working

I have installed RedCloth, by using the devkit. Using gem install RedCloth.

If I use plain irb, then require 'RedCloth' works fine.

But if I use rails console and do require 'RedCloth', it says it can't find file to load.

Please help.

Rails 3.0.0 RedCloth 4.2.3

Is RedClotch included in your Gemfile, and have you run bundle install since updating your Gemfile?

I don't believe Rails 3 will allow you to include gems that are not in the Gemfile. I'm not quite sure about the inner workings of bundler, but I believe the Rails app considers your Gemfile it's "only source" for loading gems.

what is a gem file? and where is it located?

In a default Rails 3 app, it'll be at the top level directory, and it'll be named Gemfile (no extension) -- you can open it with any text editor, and subsequently run `bundle install` to parse/process that Gemfile
