Forum: IronRuby IronRuby binary disribution

Does the IronRuby binary distribution have any dependencies on the MRI 
distribution?  If I require a standard Ruby library from IronRuby, I get 
an error that there is “no such file to load”.

I unzipped the binary distribution to the root of the C drive.  I then 
added C:\IronRuby\bin to my system PATH variable.  Now I can open a 
command prompt and start ir.  I can require .net libraries - all works. 
However, if I try to require a standard ruby library, I get an error 
(see text below.)

>>> require 'net/http'IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `require': no such file to load -- net/http (LoadError)        from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `UpdateAndExecute'        from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `Update3'        from :0        from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `InvokeTarget'        from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `Run'

Thanks

Hi Mark,

try running the console with something like:
ir -I
'C:\tools\ironruby\libs;C:\tools\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8;C:\tools\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8'

of course the paths need to be adapted to how they are on your computer.

Cheers
Ivan
