Subject: jirb: require java => false ????

Hello all,

Ok I'm new to the ruby world and a complete newbie  in jruby/java so
I'm probably being dump but what is wrong here? Why isn't require
'java' working and 2nd (probably be fixed I guess when require java
works) why is require_gem an undefined method??

Cheers,

Paul

Code:
/local/Ruby> echo $JAVA_HOME
/local/jdk1.6.0_05
:/local/Ruby> echo $JRUBY_HOME
/local/Ruby/Jruby/jruby-1.1RC3/

:/local/Ruby> jirb --version
irb 0.9.5(05/04/13)
irb(main):001:0> require 'java'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> include Java
=> Object
require 'rubygems'
=> true

require_gem 'ActiveRecord-JDBC'
NoMethodError: undefined method `require_gem' for main:Object
