chronic gives me error after installation (ruby)

Question

• I run ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]
• I had to upgrade RubyGems so I run 1.3.5 now
• then I istalled chronic (0.2.3)

but I only receive

./chronic.rb:3: uninitialized constant Chronic (NameError)
    from E:/prog/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
    from E:/prog/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
    from chronic.rb:1

if I run this code

require 'chronic'

puts Chronic.parse("yesterday")

puts "Tomorrow = #{Chronic.parse('tomorrow')}"

puts "Today = #{Chronic.parse('today')}"

puts "yesteday = #{Chronic.parse('yesteday')}"

puts "2 days ago = #{Chronic.parse('2 days ago')}"

puts "2 months ago = #{Chronic.parse('2 months ago')}"

Answer 1

Is the file that contains your test code named chronic.rb or is there another file in the current directory named chronic.rb? If so, try renaming it.

Your require 'chronic' statement is loading the file chronic.rb from the current directory rather than searching for the file in the gem.
