require rubygems works in irb but not in script

I have Ubuntu 9.04 Ruby 1.8 Rubygems 1.3.5

In irb,

irb(main):002:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true

In a script

$ ./test.rb 
./test.rb:2:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError)
from ./test.rb:2

$ gem environment

$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby

I think it may have something to do with my PATH, but I am not sure how or what to fix.

My $LOAD_PATH variable seems to have the path to the gem directories.

$ gem env gemdir
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> $LOAD_PATH
=> ["/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux", "."]

Check the $LOAD_PATH, this variable contains the paths where ruby looks for when you use require.

I'm guessing that the shebang line in irb points to a different ruby than the one in your $PATH. Try

$ ruby $(type -p irb)

and see if your 'require "rubygems"' still works. If not, look at the #! line in irb to see what ruby it's using...
