Do you get a success message after doing gem install -v=0.4.2 ii18n ? Is the i18n gem in gem list local ? What kind of shared environment? cPanel, directadmins, plesk, something custom?

I do get success after doing the gem install, and the gem is listed in the local. I'm using cPanel on Site5.

For what it's worth, I'm seeing some redmine users have the same error with 1.1.0 on their discussion forums.

This sounds like a path issue. Like maybe gem on the command line is using a different set of gems than the web server.

Can you paste the output of gem env?

Here's the output of gem env

Thanks for all of the help.

Andrew Leaf:

Try checking the two gempaths now and look the i18n gem. ls /home/cooliond/.gems and the ls /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8. I suspect that it's present in your user's path (/home/cooliond/.gems) but not in the system path.
