Hi,
I downloaded FxRuby via gem. The both direcories ,
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\fxruby-1.6.13-mswin32
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\fxruby-1.6.13
exist in the correct location, but when I try to run it, I get the following
error:-
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\fxruby-1.6.13-mswin32\tests>irb
irb(main):001:0> load 'fox16'
LoadError: no such file to load -- fox16
from (irb):1:in `load'
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> exit
Windows XP machine, Do I need to add any entries to as a path or anything
specific to work with FXruby library please?
thanks
Hari
Gems are for requiring, files are for loading, and trix are for kids 
Try require instead of load...
require 'fox16'

No, if load won't work, require won't either. Require is just the
same as load except that it checks to see if the file has been already
loaded and doesn't reload it if so.
I suspect that the problem is that he needs to first require 'rubygems'.

Not true, because load ignores $LOAD_PATH:
irb(main):001:0> load 'fox16'
LoadError: no such file to load -- fox16
from (irb):1:in `load'
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require 'fox16'
=> true

Yep, that's a good thing to check.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ignore that, it's quite wrong!
However, load doesn't automatically append the .rb:
irb(main):001:0> load "fileutils"
LoadError: no such file to load -- fileutils
from (irb):1:in `load'
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> load "fileutils.rb"
=> true
That will certainly cause "load 'fox16'" to fail, regardless of the gem issue.

Yes, I forgot about that. You need to load the full file name, but
still, doesn't loading a gem load more than one file?

I meant "requiring a gem".

HI,
thanks for the feedback, by processing rubygems first and then fox it seems
to work,
irb(main):003:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):004:0> require 'fox16'
=> true
but all the examples which are downloaded with fox does not require this
entry. Is there anything I need to add to to the path in windows to load
gems automatically.
How does this get loaded please?
How does Load_path work, where is defined and can I amend this.
Appreciate your help
thanks & regards

Try setting an environment variable RUBYOPT="rubygems" in your system control panel.
