I have a little application which uses the HighLine 1.2.0 gem: it's worked
perfectly under Windows and Linux. When invoked in Mac OS X, however, I get=
:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.rb:576:in
`get_line': The input stream is exhausted. (EOFError)
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.=
rb:596:in
`get_response'
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.=
rb:177:in
`ask'
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.=
rb:272:in
`choose'
from lib2.rb:90:in `ask_action'
from lib2.rb:22:in `initialize'
from lib2.rb:21:in `initialize'
from lib2.rb:303

when I try to read input.

This is ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-darwin8.5.2].

I'd be happy to hear any ideas.

Thanks...

I have a little application which uses the HighLine 1.2.0 gem: it's
worked
perfectly under Windows and Linux. When invoked in Mac OS X,
however, I get:

HighLine is developed on OS X, so it *should* work OK there.

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/highline.rb:
576:in
`get_line': The input stream is exhausted. (EOFError)
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/
highline.rb:596:in
`get_response'
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/
highline.rb:177:in
`ask'
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/highline-1.2.0/lib/
highline.rb:272:in
`choose'
from lib2.rb:90:in `ask_action'
from lib2.rb:22:in `initialize'
from lib2.rb:21:in `initialize'
from lib2.rb:303

This error was added recently as a "feature", to allow user code to
detect the end of a stream. (It was intended mainly for scripts
reading from STDIN and wanting to notice a control-D/control-z
keystroke.)

when I try to read input.

This is ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i686-darwin8.5.2].

I'd be happy to hear any ideas.

Can you show me a simple example of how you are feeding the script
input when the error is triggered and the HighLine code involved?
(You can email me privately, so we don't disturb the list with our
bug hunt.)
