[Wtr-general] a common error

[Charley Baker]

Your required files need to be in a directory that's in your load path.
According to the file below you could put the toolkit directory (which I
assume contains testhook.rb) in the same directory as your script, lab5_1.rb
and it should work. If not, do a google search on ruby load path, you'll
find many references which might help you understand this.
