$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
irb(main):002:0> require 'looksee/shortcuts'
Gem::LoadError: Could not find RubyGem newgem (>= 1.5.1)

$ sudo gem install newgem
ERROR:  Error installing newgem:
hoe requires RubyGems version >= 1.3.1 

$ sudo wajig install rubygems
rubygems is already the newest version.

I shouldn't need to update my rubygems manually just to use looksee

Hi Martin,

I agree the situation sucks, but I'm inclined to conider this issue "fixed" in the sense that newer rubygems will not require newgem (or other "development dependencies"). Is there a reason you can't upgrade rubygems?
