uninitialized constant Fileutils (NameError)?

[Thomas Luedeke]

I do not understand what is going on here - I've done this a multitude
of times and all of a sudden it doesn't work any more.

I've got a "require 'fileutils'" at the beginning of my script, but when
I use the file copy command "Fileutils.cp" it just keeps stopping with
the uninitialized constant error.

What potential problem is going on here? I'm using Ruby 1.9.

Hi, Thomas

I've got a "require 'fileutils'" at the beginning of my script, but when
I use the file copy command "Fileutils.cp" it just keeps stopping with
the uninitialized constant error.

Simple spell miss. The class name is "FileUtils" with an upper U, not
Fileutils.

It's FileUtils (note the capital U), not Fileutils.
