Hi,
I am having problems with running wxruby2 on windows.
I have installed ruby through cygwin and have also installed the latest
version of the wxRuby2 gem [wxruby2-preview (0.0.38)]
When I try running this command
ruby -rubygems minimal/minimal.rb
I get this error message:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.38-i386-mswin32/lib/wxruby2.so:
Permission denied - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-
preview-0.0.38-i386-mswin32/lib/wxruby2.so (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require. rb:33:in
`require''
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.38-i386-mswin32
/lib/wx.rb:12
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require. rb:33:in
`gem_original_require''
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require. rb:33:in
`require''
from minimal/minimal.rb:6
So i decided to install the previous stable release of wxruby2 for windows
as a gem [wxruby2-preview ( 0.0.36)] and this time i try running the same
command again. However, i get this error message.
Unable to load wxruby. Searched:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.36-i386-mswin32/bin
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.36-i386-mswin32/lib
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin
I''ve also tried running
ruby -rubygems -e "require ''wxruby2''"
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-preview-0.0.36-i386-mswin32/lib/wxruby2.so:
Permission denied - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby2-

from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:33:in
`require''
from -e:1
There actually is a file named wxruby2.so, and it''s file permission in
the
lib folder is as follows:
total 7.0M
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 Owner None 0 Jan 14 22:08 wx/
-rw-r--r-- 1 Owner None 775 Jan 14 22:08 wx.rb
-rw-r--r-- 1 Owner None 7.0M Jan 14 22:08 wxruby2.so
Can anyone please help me? I''m new to both ruby and wxwidgets but
i''d really
like to get this working.

If you want Cygwin support you''ll have to compile wxRuby2 yourself, I believe. Otherwise, use the Ruby 1 click installer and then install the gem. Roy
