Ruby RSpec "no such file to load" Error

I'm struggeling with RSpec, I just can't get RSpec to work in my Ruby project. Not even in the easy example provided in the "Get Started Now" section of the official homepage of RSpec: http://rspec.info/

So I take the code from the official example and create bowling.rb and bowling_spec.rb. When i try to run rspec from the console with: 

rspec bowling_spec.rb --format nested

I get this output:

require': no such file to load -- bowling (LoadError)
from C:/.../Ruby192/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from C:/.../bowling_spec.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'

I tried to run RSpec on my own project with Netbans 7.0.1 as well as with Aptanda Studio 3. I always get this same error. The gem list show the following rspec gems:

Can anybody help me with this?

For posterity, I had this problem, too, and the issue was that I had accidentally require'ed spec_helper.rb in a non-spec class in a gem. That was fun to find.

The Solution for getting it to work in Netbeans too is to maunally install Rspec, since Netbeans doesn't have RSpec Version 2 support:

gem install rspec -v 1.3.2
