requiring files

Joe Van Dyk

Hi,

If I start a Ruby application from a different directory than what the
executed file is in, Ruby can't find the other files that the executed
file requires (that are in the same directory as the executed file).

Any ideas on ways to fix that?

I always prefer the verbose name of the globals:
$LOAD_PATH.push File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))

Look at the 'english' library in the stdlib:
ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/english.rb
