fxruby users - Sep 2006 - [Rubygems-developers] Can''t install fxruby via rubygems 0.9.0 on Windows XP

Yeah, the files are there. Is it a naming convention thing? What I
mean is, is the fact that the gems are named:

    fxruby-1.4.7-ruby1.8.4-mswin32.gem
    fxruby-1.4.7-ruby1.8.5-mswin32.gem

and:

    fxruby-1.6.2-ruby1.8.4-mswin32.gem
    fxruby-1.6.2-ruby1.8.5-mswin32.gem

Causing the gem server code some grief?

OK, so it is a naming convention thing. The Gem server apparently
inspected the Gem spec for that gem (in order to identify its version
number and platform) but didn''t bother to remember its correct file
name. Oh well. Although I am of the opinion that this is a RubyGems
problem, I''ll go ahead and rename one of the gems in this style and
see if that fixes the problem.

Per Tom Copeland, the problem wasn''t that the file wasn''t
there; the
problem was that the RubyGems server code was looking for it under a
different file name. I will be filing a bug report about that, but in
the meantime I''ve renamed one of the Gem files so that the Gem server
will be able to serve it up.

The file "fxruby-1.6.2-mswin32.gem" should now be served-up properly
when you type:

    gem [install | update] fxruby

Note that this gem was built against Ruby 1.8.5, which has at least
one bug that impacts FXRuby. If you need a gem for FXRuby-1.6.2 that
was built against Ruby 1.8.4, you''ll have to download the Gem file
directly from the FXRuby project page and install it locally.

Hope this helps,

Dear all,

I have a design question: assume we have an FXText field containing
a sentence

The <best> Ruby version is the current one.

with "best" highlighted, and there is a choice of words

| most wonderful |, | cutest |, | most effective |

to replace "best". To do the replacement, I want to just click on any
of
three buttons. I want to iterate through all of the words of the sentence and I
only know the choice of words for replacement at runtime.
Now, if I click on the | most wonderful | - button, I want to have
a sentence 

The most wonderful version of <Ruby>  is the current one. 

i.e., "best" gets changed to "most wonderful", the next word
Ruby gets highlighted,
and there should be a choice of buttons of words replacing "Ruby",
like

| the computing language invented by Matz |,

which should be shown instead of 

| most wonderful |, | cutest |, | most effective |.

I have written a method with a lot of evals in it, which calls itself, when the
user
clicks on a button, and updates its arguments (move to the next word etc.)
to do the trick of updating the buttons, but I can only show the first set of
buttons and replace the first word - the new buttons
for the next set of replacement words don''t appear.
I rather randomly tried to call "app.update, app.recalc" etc., but
none worked.


What am I missing ?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Axel
