John is correct. Something changed, and now rubygems are loading too early to honor the environmental variables.

I corrected it with:

require ‘rubygems’ || Gem.clear_paths

I did a write up (and cited your post) at:

I cant get clearly where to put the .htaccess and config.ru files.
How is the directory tree?
/home/your_user/sinatra/htaccess ?

I thought I would show what I had to do (with the help of site5 great staff) to get your tutorial to work on the current site5 ruby setup.
Add the following line below your 2 ENV lines in the config.ru file:
Gem.clear_paths

Without it, ruby cant’t seem to find the sinatra gem installed.
