Problem with gem or ruby 1.8.5 or fxruby or maybe 64bit ????

[Marinho Tobolla]

Hi there.

Well i have a little problem. I just recently installed ruby 1.8.5 and rubygems 0.9 and Fox 1.6.4 and fxruby 1.6.
For fxruby i installed the gem and that seems to work. As you can see gemm list -local shows fxruby. But for some reason it wouldn´t
be found. if i use irb neither require 'fox16' nor require 'rubygems' require_gem 'fxruby' work.
Can somebody help me ?

Some more information ´bout my system.

I use linux slackware 10.2 and Suse 10.0 64 bit. It doesn´t work on both systems.

Thanks

Marinho

Your gem list shows that you don't have any other gems installed. Have
you tried installing and using other gems?

Well pdf-writer gem seems to work. Maybe its a 64 bit problem. Fox
works, i tried the calculator. And fxruby did work AFTER installing it
from the sources AND after isntalling Ruby 1.8.4. Still it´s not a good
solution for me, i would prefer to install it from gem.

I don't know if there is a binary gem distributed for FXRuby, but if
it is, it's almost certainly only built for 32-bit Ruby.
