Require (include) system libraries

Hi all.
We are working on a plugin (on Mac, specifically) that uses the Ruby "Socket" library. In a typical Ruby install we could just

require 'socket'

However, that doesn't seem to work within SketchUp. This makes life more difficult, as we would need to include a different file ('socket.bundle' for Mac) depending upon platform (Intel vs. PPC, 10.4 vs. 10.5).

Is there a way to get SketchUp's Ruby to require "system wide" libraries such as this?
