ruby datamapper will not load

I was trying to learn about the Sinatra ruby framework by following this tutorial:

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ruby/singing-with-sinatra-the-recall-app-2/

however, after running the gem install and writing a simple sinatra server in test.rb like so:

require 'sinatra'
require 'datamapper'

get '/' do 
  "Hello, World!"
end

but when I run the command ruby test.rb, I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- datamapper (LoadError)
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
    from datamapper_test.rb:2:in `<main>'
glenn@ubuntu:~/Dropbox/Repositories/sandbox/sinatra$ ruby datamapper_test.rb 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- datamapper (LoadError)
    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
    from test.rb:3:in `<main>'

it seems as though it cannot find the datamapper gem. how can I fix this?

EDIT: using ruby 1.9.2

EDIT (again): (parital) output from gem list:

You need to require 'data_mapper', not datamapper.

Note there is a datamapper gem as well as a data_mapper gem, but they are the same thing, just different names. You need use data_mapper as the library name in both of them.

As far as I can tell datamapper is a straight copy of data_mapper:

$ diff -r data_mapper-1.2.0/ datamapper-1.2.0/
diff -r data_mapper-1.2.0/Rakefile datamapper-1.2.0/Rakefile

< GEM_NAME         = 'data_mapper'
---
> GEM_NAME         = 'datamapper'
