NOTE: This list of Ruby Gems installed on Deluxe and Premium shared hosting accounts running Hosting Configuration 2.0 is updated regularly, but may not reflect the most recent changes. To query the most current list of Gems, see What Ruby Gems are installed on my hosting account?.
Ruby Gems are located in two paths: a standard path in which mature version are installed, and a development path in which new versions are installed. To access Gems residing in the development path, add the line of code below to your application's config/environment.rb file. This code must appear before the call to Rails::Initializer.
ENV['GEM_HOME'] = '/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems-dev/1.8'
This location is where future Rails versions will also reside. To guard against existing applications' compatibility with future Gem versions, you can either freeze Gems or use Ruby's require_gem command to specify Gem versions.
For more information about freezing Gems, see What does it mean to freeze Ruby Gems?.
For more information about require_gem, see Specifying Gem versions.
