Must be something different in the script you use. If I execute this script:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
class String
  def convert_base(from,to)
    self.to_i(from).to_s(to)
  end
end

ttext=10
puts("Result: #{ttext.to_s.convert_base(2,16)}")
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--

I obtain

Result: 2
