fxruby users - Jan 2009 - foxGUIb - believe it''s intalled okay but....

I''ve tried calling foxGUIb from command line as ...

ruby foxGUIb.rb got an error - no file found by that name

ruby /usr/bin/foxGUIb.rb again got error to say i didn''t have
permissions

sudo ruby /usr/foxGUIb.rb and got informed ....
/usr/bin/foxGUIb.rb:7:in `require'': no such file to load -- version
(LoadError)
        from /usr/bin/foxGUIb.rb:7

Now do i need to add anything into ruby''s configuration (ie have a path
pointing to anything?)
Line 7 say require "Version"

i have fox1.6 installed!

many thanks.

dave.

Not sure if it will be useful to you, but here''s how I call foxGuib:

I''ve the source in /usr/local/src, so, once it is compiled and  
installed, I jump into it:

cd /usr/local/src/foxGUIb_1.0.0/foxGUIb

and call it for this directory (I''ve read somewhere that you should  
be in this directory to call it);

ruby foxGUI.rb

Of course X11 should be open beforehand (if you''re on a Mac), then  
after some time, you''ll see the edi and can work with it.

yes, you need to call it from the directory where foxguib.rb is located.
i''m
sure there is a quite easy way to get around this limitation. so if anyone
cares to fix it i''d be glad to merge it in. btw.: for everyone who
loves
git, there is now a foxguib repo at github:  git://
github.com/henon/foxguib.git

Hi Henon & Mich?le,

Sorry but i''ve physically gone to the /usr/bin directory and ran the
command with no joy!!!

here is what i''ve got.

dave at AMD3000:/usr/bin$ ruby foxGUIb.rb
ruby: Permission denied -- foxGUIb.rb (LoadError)
dave at AMD3000:/usr/bin$ sudo ruby foxGUIb.rb
sudo: unable to resolve host AMD3000
foxGUIb.rb:7:in `require'': no such file to load -- version (LoadError)
        from foxGUIb.rb:7
dave at AMD3000:/usr/bin$ 

now i''ve actually got the sample programs working by going into the
directory
/spare/downloads/FXRuby.../examples/ruby <an example script> and
it''s worked so i know i''ve got FXRuby installed okay or would
it be Fox making it work?

Could a ruby gem cause any issues?
I did try and install a FXGem before getting FXRuby going

this is what i got when last i tried to install FXRuby and so believe it
installed correctly!
***** line below is start of the terminal screen grab *****
install timeout.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/fox16
install undolist.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/fox16
install version.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/fox16
<--- lib/fox16
<--- lib
---> ext
---> ext/fox16
mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/.
install fox16.so /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/.
---> ext/fox16/include
<--- ext/fox16/include
<--- ext/fox16
<--- ext
dave at AMD3000:/spare/downloads/FXRuby-1.6.18$

***** end of the terminal screen grab *****

I doubt that foxguib.rb is located in /usr/bin. can you verify that please?
I think you installed foxguib in a directory under /usr/bin such as
/usr/bin/foxGUIb-1.7.0 or something like that. you need to cd in there and
and start. sorry for the inconvenience.

btw: you might want to move your installation of foxguib to your homedir in
order to use it without sudo.
