Can't require ActiveRecord gem

Ruby
1

According to the manual, if I call ruby this way

 ruby -rubygems script_that_uses_gem

require_gem is not needed, plain require is enough.

This indeed is working as documented with WWW::Mechanize, but not
with ActiveRecord, which loads fine with require_gem. Is this
something known?

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin8.3.0]
RubyGems 0.8.11
activerecord (1.13.2)

Make sure you say: require ‘active_record’
Rather than: require ‘activerecord’

“activerecord” is the gem. “active_record” is the file to be required.

Gotcha! Thank you very much Jim.
