After installing FXRuby v1.0.18 over Ruby v1.6.8 (using the correct binary), I get this error when
trying to require fox.

C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe -e “require ‘fox’”
-e:1:in require': No such file to load -- fox/version (LoadError) from -e:1:in require’
from -e:1

What did I do wrong THIS time? :wink:

I installed ruby

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-01-23) [i686-linux]

and after that fox-1.0.30 and then FXRuby-1.0.18:
$ ruby install.rb config –

$ ruby install.rb setup
$ ruby install.rb install

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require ‘fox’
LoadError: No such file to load – opengl
from /home/martin/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fox/glgroup.rb:2:in `require’
from /home/martin/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fox/glgroup.rb:2

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any hints in advance,

FXRuby-1.0.18 introduced an unintended dependency on Ruby/OpenGL. This
is being fixed for FXRuby-1.0.19, but the easy fix is to just modify the
top of your /home/martin/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/fox/glgroup.rb file
to look like this:

require 'fox'
begin
    require 'opengl'
rescue LoadError
    # Ruby/OpenGL isn't installed, so you
    # won't be able to use the FXGLGroup class
end

Hope this helps,

Lyle
