fxruby users - Jul 2004 - Problems with examples

Hi,

I am completly new to Ruby as well as to Fox. For starting I downloaded 
the examples from the ''Screenshot'' page and that ist where I
am stucked.

I managed to run them in my office but failed to do so at my home 
computer. After some investigation, I found a reason for that.

Depending on your entry point to the fx ruby home page you are directed 
to different exampes pages with different exampes. (I came once from the 
fox-toolkit page and once from the fxruby page.)

http://fxruby.sourceforge.net/doc/examples.html
http://www.fxruby.org/doc/examples.html


The difference is in the first view lines of code:

e.g.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require ''rubygems''
require_gem ''fxruby''

include Fox

class TabBookWindow < FXMainWindow

versus

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require ''fox''

include Fox

class TabBookWindow < FXMainWindow


Which is the proper way to do it and if it is the ruby_gem example what 
did I miss because it throws me an error (win, latest version of Ruby 
installer from rubyforge). The userguide suggests me the second example 
(from the sourceforge linke) but from what I have read the currenet 
pages have been moved from sourceforge to rubyforge.

Best Regards,

Michael

Ugh. The latter link (for the fxruby.org domain) is the correct URL. I 
need to ask Jeroen to fix that link from the FOX home page. Sorry about 
this confusion.

For the stable release of FXRuby (version 1.0.29) which you are 
running, the correct way to "load" the FXRuby extension is to use:

	require ''fox''

For the unstable, alpha release of FXRuby (version 1.2.1), which I 
don''t recommend your using at this time, the current method is:

	require ''rubygems''
	require_gem ''fxruby''

This may change, depending on how things progress with RubyGems.

The FXRuby home pages are hosted at:

	http://www.fxruby.org

I paid good money for that domain name, and I want people to use it. ;) 
And whether that address happens to resolve to a SourceForge.net or 
RubyForge host is an implementation detail that you shouldn''t need to 
worry about. ;)

Hope this helps,
