      Hello,
      How do I load rubygems into sketchup? I am interested in being
      able to use rubygems to load other packages, like

      gem install spreadsheet

      Or maybe it is better to load the spreadsheet gem directly.
      I have tried copying the gems files into the plugin directory
      but it complained about 'date' method undefined.

      Thanks,
      Robert

        After digging around various threads I figured it out:

        1. Install the "loadpaths.rb" script (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=29412)
          into SU Plugins. I modified it with:

        $LOAD_PATH << "#{pre}/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-ole-1.2.10.1/lib"
        $LOAD_PATH << "#{pre}/gems/1.8/gems/spreadsheet-0.6.4.1/lib"

        1. Backup and clobber the msvcrt-ruby18.dll with the one from the ruby1.8.6 release.

        2. require 'spreadsheet.rb' -> true

        -Robert
