Congratulations on the JRuby support! Nokogiri has to be one of the #1 most requested items for us. And hopefully over the summer we'll get a Java+Ruby(+ no C at all) version released too!

People,

I had problems getting v1.2.3 installed so for this version I firstly uninstalled the previous version. This time the gem install went OK and "gem list" gives:

   nokogiri (1.3.0)

but when I run the demo program I get:

   ./t095.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- nokogiri (LoadError)

and the same from irb:

   irb
   irb(main):001:0> require 'nokogiri'
   LoadError: no such file to load -- nokogiri
         from (irb):1:in `require'
         from (irb):1

What now?

Thanks,

Phil.

But it still doesn't work under mingw version of Ruby 1.9.1. It's very
frustrated when you need testing app using webrat :-|...

That works - thanks! - shouldn't the line "require 'rubygems'" be in the example code on:

?

Do you mind expanding on this? I tested it with that particular version
of ruby on windows, so I'm surprised it doesn't work. As of 1.3.0, we
support that version, so if it doesn't work, I consider that a bug.

It should be self-evident that if you install software using RubyGems you need to load RubyGems to use that software

Yes, but that's a FAQ for every ruby gem out there. The root documentation for all gems should contain that line, but El Goog will always be able to help if they don't.

I tried to use rake-compiler on OpenSUSE and Debian with Ruby 1.9.1 (in
system) and it failed on frex error. I tried to use it again with Ruby
1.8 (in system). Nokogiri didn't find ruby header files (I installed
every ruby dev package)

* Index of /pub/libxml/

The result is the nokogiri is impossible to install on Windows with Ruby
1.9.1. Yeah, I'm not a rocket scientist :frowning:

Old discusion. But my 2$ :wink:

If you deploy to for example boxed environment, or host that does have ruby but don't have rubygems, or project requires that all dependencies (gems in this case) be unpacked and stored in svn/git. You might find that his little `require 'rubygems'` suddenly breaks application deployed into production.

It's a host responsibility to provide library, whatever way it sees fit - rubygems is just one option.

17

It is in 1.9.

For Ruby 1.8, setting the environment variable RUBY_OPTS to "-rubygems" pretty much does what you want.

Florian Gilcher

Hi! It should be working now. I accidentally messed up the gem spec
platform string. I've uploaded a new gem to rubyforge, and was able to
install it on windows.

Let me know how this one works out!
