Rails config.gem error on gem installed

I already have installed this gem: googlecharts.rubyforge.org, but I don't want to require it every time I need it on my actions, so I am trying to do it the Rails way: 

config.gem 'mattetti-googlecharts'

Then I go and start my server and get this error:

Missing these required gems:
mattetti-googlecharts

You're running: ruby 1.8.7.174 at /usr/bin/ruby1.8 rubygems 1.3.5 at /home/laptop/.gem/ruby/1.8, /var/lib/gems/1.8

Run rake gems:install to install the missing gems.

But the gem is installed! I also tried this variant: 

config.gem 'mattetti-googlecharts', :lib => 'gcharts'

Use RubyGems repository. The GitHub gem is outdated.

$ gem install googlecharts

Then in your app

config.gem 'googlecharts'

You don't need to require gchart because of this. Also note, you were trying to require gcharts.rb, not gchart.rb.
