How to use gems in irb on ubuntu?

ruby-talk
1

I want to use the gem date_easter in irb, but entering require
'date_easter' causes irb to complain:

LoadError: no such file to load -- date_easter
  from (irb):3:in `require'
  from (irb):3

date_easter is installed under
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/date_easter-0.0.1 on my machine. How to get
it?

You need to require the rubygems module first and the require your gem
modules.
