wxruby users - Jan 2007 - error finding library when running test program

I''m new to Ruby and wxRuby, and I just installed Ruby 185-21 (I run
WinXP),
then used gem to install wxRuby2. When I try to run a short test program
(included below), I get this error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop>ruby test.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- wxruby (LoadError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require''
        from test.rb:1


Here''s the test program:

----- START OF PROGRAM
require "wxruby"

ID_ICON = 1000


class IconFrame < Wx::Frame
    def initialize
        super(nil, -1, "Changing Icons!", Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION,
Wx::Size.new
(225,150))
        panel = Wx::Panel.new(self, -1)
        iconNames = ["wxwin", "mondrian", "ogl",
"smiley"]
        icons = Wx::RadioBox.new(panel, ID_ICON, "&Icons",
Wx::Point.new
(20,5),
                                 Wx::DEFAULT_SIZE, iconNames, 1,
Wx::RA_SPECIFY_COLS)
        evt_radiobox(ID_ICON) {|event| on_change_icon(event)}

        if Wx::RUBY_PLATFORM == "WXMSW"
            set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/wxwin.ico"))
        else
            set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/wxwin16x16.xpm"))
        end


        show(true) #true is the default value, so it may be left off
    end

    def on_change_icon(event)
        if Wx::RUBY_PLATFORM == "WXMSW"
            case event.get_int
                when 0
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/wxwin.ico"))
                when 1
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/mondrian.ico"))
                when 2
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/ogl.ico"))
                when 3
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/smiley.ico"))
            end
        else
            case event.get_int
                when 0
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/wxwin16x16.xpm"))
                when 1
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/mondrian.xpm"))
                when 2
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/ogl.xpm"))
                when 3
                    set_icon(Wx::Icon.new("./icons/smiley.xpm"))
            end
        end
    end
end

class MinimalApp < Wx::App

    def on_init
        IconFrame.new
    end

end

MinimalApp.new.main_loop

----- END OF PROGRAM

Please let us know where you saw the old style ''require
"wxruby"''. The
samples (which will be installed in somewhere like 
C:/ruby/lib/gem/1.8/wxruby2-preview/samples) are a good place to start.

Also, if you''re using XP, you will probably want to add

GC.disable

at the start of your scripts or you will probably experience crashes 
with the current preview gem.

cheers

Thanks for the help. I noticed that the sample script was also looking for
some icon files, so I gave up on that one.

After looking at (again)
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Installation
I ran minimal.rb and it worked great!

So at the end I have something that works, which I can now build on, so
I''m
happy.

Mike
