I'm a complete Ruby newbie and all I want to do is just run a legacy ruby script (that too an open source one by Erik Veenstra). I have a Windows batch script that runs it basically that I am trying to execute. I installed Ruby on my computer, allowed it to set paths, and I tried to run it and here's the error I got:
I:/2011/devl/3rdparty/ruby/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- ftools (LoadError)

Appreciate any ideas on how to resolve this! If it helps I can post the source Ruby code.
