Can't call ruby module method

cat module1.rb =>

module Module1

    def add(a,b)
        return a+b
    end

    def subtract(a,b)
        return a-b
    end

end

cat call.rb =>

#!/home/user1/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby

include './Module1.rb

temp = add(5,2)
print temp
print "\n"

ruby call.rb =>

<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load -- Module1 (LoadError)
    from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
    from call.rb:3:in `<main>'

Can anyone fix it ?

require loads a file from Ruby's $LOAD_PATH. If you want to load a file relative to the current file, then you need to use require_relative instead.

You should require the file before including.

require 'module1.rb'
include Module1

And make sure the two file are in same directory.

Place two files in the same directory. Call the first one module1.rb and make it look exactly like this:

module Module1
  def add(a, b)
    return a + b
  end
  def subtract(a, b)
    return a - b
  end
end

Call the second one call.rb and make it look exactly like this

require './module1.rb'
include Module1

temp = add(5,2)
print temp
print "\n"

At the commandline, run ruby call.rb. You should see an output of 7.

I assume you're using Ruby 1.9?

Then try

require_relative 'module1'
include Module1

temp = add(5,2)
puts temp

That should do it.
