Probably not, but let's see what you get when you type:

        ruby -e "puts $LOAD_PATH"

For example, on my box it reports:

        /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6
        /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i686-linux
        /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby
        /usr/lib/ruby/1.6
        /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i686-linux
        .

Now, on the slim chance that your Ruby installation is configured for 
some other target (say, i386-linux) that might be the problem. In that 
case you can set the RUBYLIB environment variable so that it Ruby's load 
path will include the path that your RPM installed to, e.g.

        export RUBYLIB="/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i686-linux"

and then try again.
