Trouble with IRB

ruby-talk
1

I’m having trouble getting IRB to work.
I’m using Ruby 1.6.8 under Win2000.

When I run irb, this is what I get:

C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.6/tempfile.rb:46:in initialize': cannot generate tempfileC:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp/C_\ruby\lib\ruby\1_6_irb_lc_error_rb1212

from c:\ruby\bin\irb:13

Any ideas?

Maybe your environmental variable contains a non existing directory.
You’ll have to check TMPDIR, TMP, or TEMP.

Thanks for the reply.
irb seems to work now.
I don’t know why.

Now I’m having trouble with ri and sqlsh.rb. – separate thread
