Can not require mysql2 with ruby2

Question

I have updated my ruby version to 2.0.0 with RVM. Then installed mysql2 gem

-> % gem install mysql2
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed mysql2-0.3.13
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for mysql2-0.3.13...
Building YARD (yri) index for mysql2-0.3.13...
Installing RDoc documentation for mysql2-0.3.13...

After that I tried to require mysql2 in irb. But it results in below error!

-> % irb
2.0.0p247 :001 > require 'mysql2'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- mysql2/mysql2

How can I fix it. Please help me on this.

Update your RVM rvm get stable and re-install ruby2

rvm uninstall ruby-2.0.0-p247
rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p247

This will work.
