[ANN]: Arachno Ruby SUSE 9.1 Linux 0.1

[Lothar Scholz]

Hello,

Okay the MacOSX version was too buggy for a public release.
The Linux one seems to work much better (but not good as the windows
version at the moment).

Because many people like the debugger and that is fully functional
i will publish it now:

http://www.ruby-ide.com/downloads/ruby/Linux-Setup-ArachnoRuby-0_1_0

This is an executable file, so do a "chmod u+x" on it. It will install
everything in $HOME/ArachnoRuby and a start script "aruby" in $HOME or
in $HOME/bin.

Linux Kernel 2.6 is required.

Please send me some feedback if it runs on your Linux distribution,
maybe together with a "ldd" output about missing libs. At the moment i
only tested this on SUSE 9.1

Arachno fails on SuSE 9.2 (2.6.8-24.11-default).

It works fine (so far) on Mandrake 10.1.

Hello Tim,


TF> ditto for Gentoo ... after I compiled and installed Fox 1.3.25

Was there any problem with the bundled FOX shared lib ?

 

[Tim Ferrell]

didn't notice that ... I had grabbed the 0.1 (which apparently had
problems starting after the license dialog) and ran ldd and found that
the fox 1.3 shared lib wasn't found... so I grabbed it. However, I also
grabbed the (fixed) 0.1.1 version before I tested 0.1 again...

The short answer is that I moved the lib I installed out of the way and
the bundled lib works fine

Great work, BTW ... is there a trick to getting code completion to work?
Also, is it planned at some point to allow for extensions to the IDE
in Ruby?

Thanks much,
Tim

Seems to work well on Fedora Core 3. My only complaint with the
program so far (on Linux) is aesthetic---it doesn't take advantage of
font anti-aliasing. This does make a big difference when you're
staring at the code all day long. ;-)

Also, I noticed that the file browser pane seems to be a little buggy.
When it loaded up the directory tree for an imported project, it would
only list the first subdirectory, and then would list the other
(first-level) subdirectories under that directory. Every time I would
"Refresh" the project tree, it would move one directory out and into
the correct place. After hitting "Refresh" several times, it finally
listed everything properly. Strange.
