NoMethodError: undefined method `require_relative' for Aws:Module with aws v2.5.6

[Clif Smith]

I'm receiving the following:

NoMethodError: undefined method require_relative' for Aws:Module
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/aws-2.5.6/lib/awsbase/awsbase.rb:33
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:ingem_original_require'/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:inrequire'
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/aws-2.5.6/lib/right_aws.rb:40
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:ingem_original_require'
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

The system is Ubuntu 11.04 running ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

require_relative is a ruby 1.9+ function, you should probably upgrade your ruby. 1.8.7 is pretty old.
