If you are attempting to use the Oracle OCI8 gem with Ruby, and you have correctly followed the [installation instructions](http://ruby-oci8.rubyforge.org/en/file.install-instant-client.html), but you are getting a message like:
`require’: cannot load such file — ruby-oci8 (LoadError)
You may want to check your ruby script and make sure that you have this at the top:
require ‘oci8’
Because even though the gem is named `ruby-oci8` using this:
require ‘ruby-oci8′
Will cause the error:
> `require’: cannot load such file — ruby-oci8 (LoadError)
