title: cannot load such file -- rbconfig (LoadError) - rubygems
body: <p>So I am pretty new to this, please don't overestimate me and explain my issue/solution in detail :)</p>
  
  <p>Basicly I tried installing metasploit on BackTrack 5, however when running the command "msfconsole" (or any command linked to metasploit) I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@bt:~# msfconsole
  /opt/metasploit/ruby/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:31:in `require': cannot load such file -- rbconfig (LoadError)
      from /opt/metasploit/ruby/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:31:in `&lt;top (required)&gt;'
      from &lt;internal:gem_prelude&gt;:1:in `require'
      from &lt;internal:gem_prelude&gt;:1:in `&lt;compiled&gt;'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I looked around, and couldn't really understand my issue, I tried using solutions that worked for others, but those never seemed to work for me. 
  Some more details about my problem (used commands which were requested on other help subjects regarding rubygems)</p>
