Hi, I'd like to use 'xslt4r', because i cannot install libxml2 + libxslt for libxslt (ruby). But i get theses errors when invoking xpath from 'xmlscan': ram@lilith:~/src/xml$irb irb(main):001:0\> require 'xpath' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/xpath.rb:10: warning: Object#type is deprecated; use Object#class =\> true irb(main):002:0\> and if i try to apply the sheet on the test-data: ram@lilith:~/src/tar/xslt4r-0.0.2/test$ls data.xml stylesheet.xsl stylesheet2.xsl test.xml test\_style.xsl ram@lilith:~/src/tar/xslt4r-0.0.2/test$ruby -rxslt test\_style.xsl test.xml /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/xpath.rb:10: warning: Object#type is deprecated; use Object#class test\_style.xsl:1: parse error \ ^ test\_style.xsl:1: parse error \                      ^ with: ram@lilith:~/src/tar/xslt4r-0.0.2/test$ruby -v ruby 1.8.2 (2004-05-26) [i686-linux] is this version of xslt4r to old? Anyway, does anyone know an easy way to apply stylesheets with ruby without having libxml, libxslt(C-Lib) installed? regards ralf ---

It's easy to fix. Every occurence of type (not as local variable) should be replaced by self.class. > =\> true > irb(main):002:0\> > > and if i try to apply the sheet on the test-data: > > ram@lilith:~/src/tar/xslt4r-0.0.2/test$ls > data.xml stylesheet.xsl stylesheet2.xsl test.xml test\_style.xsl > ram@lilith:~/src/tar/xslt4r-0.0.2/test$ruby -rxslt test\_style.xsl test.xml > /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/xpath.rb:10: warning: Object#type is deprecated; use Object#class > test\_style.xsl:1: parse error aha.... you're trying to run a XSLT file as Ruby code 馃檪 try this:    ruby xslt.rb test\_style.xsl test.xml > is this version of xslt4r to old? it's quite old and uncomplete! > Anyway, does anyone know an easy way to apply stylesheets with ruby without having libxml, libxslt(C-Lib) installed?

I want to apply 'lcwa2sql.xsl' on 'lcwa-short.dia'. Using xsltproc from libxslt, i get 'lcwa.sql'. But 'ruby xslt.rb lcwa2sql.xsl lcwa-short.dia' produces no output. I actually need a way to apply the stylesheets without upgrading our production system to libxml and libxslt. And because of my growing addiction to ruby, i came accross xslt4r. maytheforcebewithyou ralf [lcwa2sql.xsl](https://rubytalk.org/uploads/short-url/A4sdAAZkC7ce1vGTKhPoNi7HNdR.xsl) (2.22 KB) [lcwa-short.dia.gz](https://rubytalk.org/uploads/short-url/jMwmO27EK3BYvqWEcNGpNpkussT.gz) (2.64 KB) [lcwa.sql](https://rubytalk.org/uploads/short-url/n2DcKF4Tw6dobFPmA9mbzxMcMu7.sql) (1.75 KB) > **路路路** > > Am Donnerstag, 15.
