I just got and compiled the latest IronRuby revision. When I try to  
require a simple file, I got this error:

E:\downloads\temp\bak\trunk\src\IronRuby.Libraries\Builtins\KernelOps.cs:300:in  
`require': Type 'IronRuby, Version=1.0.0 .0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, Ruby.Runtime.RubyContext' is missing or cannot be loaded. (Microso ft::Scripting::Runtime::MissingTypeException) from :0:in `Initialize##1’

The files I’m using are:

# new.rb

require “other”  
puts “Hello world”

# other.rb

puts “Bye”

The strange thing is that the example code at  
[http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?CallingDotNetObjectsFromRuby](http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?CallingDotNetObjectsFromRuby)  
work ok.

Thanks in advance,  
Ubaldo

Cool, now it is working!  
BTW, I will be doing a lot tests on IronRuby, I hope I can contribute  
with you guys.
