How to set library path for FileUtils

Ruby
1

What is the correct way to set library paths to remove this error when
using FileUtils?

‘require’: no such file to load – FileUtils (LoadError)

Here is the environment listing:

ruby1.9.1 -e “puts $:”
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/kramdown-0.10.0/bin
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/kramdown-0.10.0/lib
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/i486-linux
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.9.1
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.9.1/i486-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i486-linux
.

fileutils.rb is installed - if I replace << require ‘FileUtils’ >> with
<< require ‘/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/fileutils.rb’ >> my program runs.

I’m running Linux Mint 9 Isadora and I installed Ruby and Rubygems with
apt-get.

Thanks!

Normally there should be no change necessary since it’s part of the std
lib.

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/i486-linux
fileutils.rb is installed - if I replace << require ‘FileUtils’ >> with
<< require ‘/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/fileutils.rb’ >> my program runs.

??? That should not happen. Since /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1 is in $: it
must be found. How exactly do you require?

I’m running Linux Mint 9 Isadora and I installed Ruby and Rubygems with
apt-get.

Kind regards

Use:

require 'fileutils'

The FileUtils module is defined in the “fileutils.rb” file, hence the
lowercase.

Thank you - this was the problem. Uppercase works on my Windows
installation of Ruby, hence the confusion.
