Hello!
I’ve got a simple question.
I want to have my own libraries in a directory.
Let’s say that it’s “C:\mylib”.
And there’s a file names “a.rb”.
I want to write like
require “a”
What should I do to make ruby interpreter know where to find the file all
the time.
ENV[“RUBYLIB”] is valid only for the session, right?
Thanks.

Consider putting your own libraries in:
RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.x (if version specific)
RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby (general utilities)
They’re not just for other people’s packages.
If your library is in the “current directory”, Ruby would find it there, too.
There’s the -I’C:/mylib’ command line option.
Or $LOAD_PATH << ‘C:/mylib’ before “require”.
Someone may even answer the question you asked

Add RUBYLIB to the list env. variables defined during startup. If
you’re using Win95/98, add
SET RUBYLIB=C:\mylib
to your autoexec.bat. If you’re using WinXP, use Control
Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables to add RUBYLIB to the
list of user variables.
