Can't use FileUtils

ruby-talk
1

Hi out there,

I'd like to use "FileUtils*", but ruby doe'nt agree:

irb(main):003:0> FileUtils.mkdir('uno')
NameError: uninitialized constant FileUtils
        from (irb):3
irb(main):004:0>

But the file ist allreay in the lib:
ram@lilith:~/src/tar$locate fileutils.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb

Dir works:
irb(main):001:0> Dir.mkdir('uno')
Errno::EEXIST: File exists - uno
        from (irb):1:in `mkdir'
        from (irb):1

I use ruby rby 1.8.2.

Where's my mistake?

the 1.8 dir is there for you to require files. The builtin stuff like
Dir does not have extenrals files, so:
require 'filutils.rb'
FileUtils.mkdir_p domething
