a) What is the name of the file that you put your class in?
b) Where is the file, relative to the file that has the "require" line
in it?

Ok so here is some code that is having the problem with the require. I
tested out some programs from rubyforge, and it gave me the same error.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TestClass two seperate files
-----------------------------------------------------------------
class TestClass
def testMethod()
return "Hello I am in TestClass"
end
end

-----------------------------------------------------------------
ClassTester
-----------------------------------------------------------------
require 'TestClass'

ob = TestClass.new()
puts("Testing: #{ob.testMethod()}")
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks

Nope it still gives me the same error. IDK what to do, cause I tried it
on two computers and they both give me the same one. On both computers I
installed ruby using the 1click installer, do you think this would have
any effect on it, or are there certain config files that I can check to
make sure everything is in order?
Thanks

You didn't answer either of my questions.

What is the name of the FILE that you have your TestClass defined in?
It should be something like "testclass.rb". That's what you should put
in your require statement, e.g.
require 'testclass.rb'

Also, unless you're installing it somewhere in your require path, you
should have that file in the same directory as your 'class tester' file.

I have it named as TestClass.rb if that is what you are asking

Scott,

A couple of things, probably not the cause, but you seem to have some
of the naming conventions mixed...

assuming that both files are in the same directory, it is good practice
to not use cases in your file names, so I would code them;

-----------------------------------------------------------------
testclass.rb
-----------------------------------------------------------------
class TestClass
def testMethod()
return "Hello I am in TestClass"
end
end

-----------------------------------------------------------------
classtester.rb
-----------------------------------------------------------------
require 'testclass'

ob = TestClass.new()
puts("Testing: #{ob.testMethod()}")
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The require is the filename without the .rb extension.

No I used require 'testclass', and I tried running it in freeIDE, and
for some reason it actually ran, so I don't know what the deal is when I
try to run it from console, it just gives me that rubygem custom require
error.

How about a sign that read, "All Muslims get in line to receive your
hood and handcuffs and be flown back to whence you came -- never to
return. Prayers, chants, and references to Allah not permitted while
in the air. You might scare the paying passengers." Would that be ok?

All Muslims are foreign to American culture, traditions and ideals.
I have no problem with an Arab coming to this country -- IF. If he
throws of his sheet and sandals, shaves his beard and strives to
become an American.

So, you would have Lincoln, Grant and all the other bearded Americans
that they should shave? How about Jesus and his sandals and beard?
