I am getting "no such file to load -- aws/s3" even though I have it

$ sudo gem install aws-s3

$ irb -rubygems
$ require 'aws/s3'

=> true

So I have the gem everything works.. but now I console into my application..

$ script/console
$ require 'aws/s3'

MissingSourceFile: no such file to load -- aws/s3
    from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.9.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:156:in `require'

    from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.9.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:156:in `require'
    from (irb):1

What could that be from?

It's hard to say exactly what your problem is, but depending on your rails version you should make sure you have the gem specified in your Gemfile (rails-3) or in your environment.rb (rails 2).

Once you fix this problem I suggest you take the time to learn more about managing gems, it's not a difficult topic and will pay dividends. I suggest looking into rvm and break the habit of using sudo to install gems.

If you are on Rails 2 you should also consider either upgrading to rails 3 or using bundler (this is an old link, but I think the instructions should still work).
