'require' error - simple q

ruby-talk
1

when trying to run simple ruby scripts I get an error like this:

techntronic]$./xcalc.rb
./xcalc.rb:20:in `require’: No such file to load – gtk (LoadError)
from ./xcalc.rb:20

I get this same error from other scripts (er yes
I have gtk installed…)

I tried changing the require field to point to
the gtk directory but that didn’t work either.

And you have also installed the gtk bindings for Ruby?
(Just checking the semi-obvious)

If so, check in your lib/ruby directory to make sure you have gtk.so
On my system, it is located at
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i586-linux-gnu/gtk.so
but this varies from system to system.

If it isn’t there, perhaps you forgot to do “make install” or “make
site-install” when installing the gtk bindings.

Oops! Looks like I didn’t have ruby-gtk
installed. Thanks!
