require 'rjb' fails on irb

Question

I want to use rjb to invoke the standford parser . I have managed to install the gem for rjb and set the JAVA_HOME path as suggested in the rjb website.

     gem install rjb

Can someone tell me what is the problem ?

Try require 'rubygems' before require 'rjb'
