$LOAD_PATH << “/newsearchdir”

Is there a way to set this up so it is always executed (e.g. ini-file, or
set environment variable)?

Windows has environment variables. For a single DOS session you can use
the SET command:

SET RUBYLIB=…

How you set them permanently depends on which version you’re running. If
you’re running XP or NT, go to Control Panel->System and hunt around. In
XP I think it’s under an Advanced button. Or go to Help and enter
“Environment”.

Great, thanks.

But other than typing it into irb, where do I put this? I’m on Windows,
and could not find any ini files or environment variables. Something
that Ruby consults each time it runs.

$ grep irbrc /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/*
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/init.rb: rcs.push File.expand_path(“~/.irbrc”) if ENV.key?(“HOME”)
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/init.rb: rcs.push “.irbrc”
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/init.rb: rcs.push “_irbrc”
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/irb/init.rb: rcs.push “$irbrc”

Regards,

Brian.
