i'm using ruby 1.8.2, rubygem 0.8.10, rails 1.0.0 where activesupport =
version =3D 1.2.5

when i try to run this in RADRail, i get a NoMethodError:

require 'rubygems'
require_gem "activesupport"

print Time.now + 2.days

the error message is: c:/e312workspace/first/test3.rb:5: undefined method=
`days' for 2:Fixnum (NoMethodError)

is there a way to use the numeric/time core_ext in a plain ruby app? if s=
o, how?
thanks for any help!

I'm not sure why the above doesn't work, but check below for a working
version.

Thanks! That worked. Not sure what was wrong with require_gem=20

Nothing is wrong with require_gem. It has an unfortunate name though.
It should really be called activate_gem or something similar. =20
require_gem only actually require's the library if it uses =20
autorequire, which is deprecated now.
require_gem is to select things like a given version of a gem, ie:
require_gem 'some_gem', '>=3D 1.0'
you still have to do the
require 'some_gem' line
