Suggested solution:

Use load instead of require in RVM's .irbrc. require expects an .rb extension which irbrc does not have, so require will fail, but load does not make that assumption so it will work.

Worth mentioning that despite it says it will load .irbrc from user's home folder, it actually loads irbrc (no dot).
