calling a ruby file from a RakeFile

I'm creating an application which requires migrations without rails. For that I have created a rake file to execute commands.

My problem is how can I call a ruby class function from a rake file. I want something like this. consider both are in the same directory

class A

def b

puts 'calling method B from class A'

end

end

in the RakeFile

task :create do

A.new.b

end

I want to execute it as

rake create

But currently I'm getting this error

rake aborted!

no such file to load -- a

I'm using ruby 1.9.1, rake (0.8.7)

thanks in advance

cheers

Have you required the file containing the class? Meaning, have you used any statement like 

require "path/to/a.rb" #where a.rb contains the class A

It seems like ruby converter unable to find where to look for class A.
