I’m trying to require a downmark script called, appropriately enough, downmarkit.

Four lines into the beginning of my code is the block:
require_relative 'downmarkit'

The file does exist:

$ls /home/mike/public_html/downmarkit
/home/mike/public_html/downmarkit

Yet when I execute my script from the public_html folder…

$ruby _import.rb
_import.rb:4:in `require_relative': no such file to load -- /home/mike/public_html/downmarkit (LoadError)

This is probably a really silly mistake on my part, but I’m not seeing it. Why can’t ruby see what is right in front of it’s face?

    When requiring ruby looks for file with .rb extension. Your ls says that this file has no extension.
