In my rails 2.3.8 app running in windows 7, getting the following error when attempting to start the server:

D:\app1>ruby script/server C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- active_support/core_ext (LoadError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require' from D:/app1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support.rb:56 from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from D:/app1/vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/server.rb:1 from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from script/server:3

In the custom require file block below... line 36 is "gem_original_require path"

 def require(path) # :doc: gem_original_require path rescue LoadError => load_error if load_error.message =~ /#{Regexp.escape path}\z/ and spec = Gem.searcher.find(path) then Gem.activate(spec.name, "= #{spec.version}") gem_original_require path else raise load_error end end

gem list as follows:

actionmailer (2.3.8) actionpack (2.3.8) activerecord (2.3.8) activeresource (2.3.8) activesupport (2.3.8) builder (3.0.0) calendar_date_select (1.16.1) cgi_multipart_eof_fix (2.5.0) gem_plugin (0.2.3) google4r-checkout (1.0.6.1) i18n (0.5.0) liquid (2.2.2) money (3.5.5) mongrel (1.1.5 x86-mingw32) mysql (2.8.1 x86-mingw32) rack (1.1.0) rails (2.3.8) rake (0.8.7) rmagick (2.12.0 mswin32)

Looked around with portions of the error, but I'm not quite sure where to start.

Just looking at the stack trace ... it looks like your application is on drive "D" and the ruby files are on drive "C".

Maybe when its performing the require 

filenames = Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/core_ext/*.rb"].sort.map do |path| File.basename(path, '.rb') end

its requiring that path on "D" when it should be on "C". That's my best guess. Good luck.

this was so long ago and I don't have the machine that the error was created on so +1 for the possible solution... I'm sure it will help someone else.

create a file name

core_ext.rb

in the

 C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\activesupport-2.3.8\lib\active_support

and edit add the content to the following lines

filenames = Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/core_ext/*.rb"].sort.map do |path| File.basename(path, '.rb') end # deprecated filenames -= %w(blank) filenames.each { |filename| require "active_support/core_ext/#{filename}" }
