Forum: wxRuby cannot get my wx script to run

I can't get my script to run. It just gives me the error:

/usr/bin/ruby -e STDOUT.sync=true;STDERR.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift)
/home/crystalmoth/RubymineProjects/wxRuby_CADaver/.idea/MainFrame.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- Wx (LoadError)

  from
/home/crystalmoth/RubymineProjects/wxRuby_CADaver/.idea/MainFrame.rb:4
  from -e:1:in `load'
  from -e:1

Process finished with exit code 1

I got errors like this ("no such file to load") running 1.9 Ruby and 
installing the wrong wx.  If you're running 1.9, try this one:

http://rubygems.org/gems/wxruby-ruby19

This whole 1.8/1.9 thing is a huge pain.  Going into the interactive 
ruby and just typing require 'wx' may be a quicker way to work on this 
issue.

The best you can do is to download the gem from rubyforge and install it
with the gem command
(gem install PATH_TO_THE_DOWNLOADED_GEM).

For some reason installing wxruby via gems doesn't work very well (it's
actually very unstable: it either can't find any gems, or installs
version 1.9 of wxRuby).

I see you're using ruby 1.8, so you'll have to grab the package from
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35

hope that helps

It installed the gem. I am using ruby 1.8 and when i installed it it 
said:

Warning: Installing to ~/.gem since /var/lib/gems/1.8 and 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin in your path.
Warning: You don;t have /home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin in your 
path, gem executables will not run.


Now I just get this message:

/usr/bin/ruby -e STDOUT.sync=true;STDERR.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift)

  -e:1:in `load'
  -e:1
Uncaught exception: no such file to load -- Wx

Do I just have to set my PATH? If so, how?

So i tried to put that second error message into my path and it seemed 
to work, kin of. Now I get this message when I try to run my scrip in 
RubyMine:

/usr/bin/ruby -e STDOUT.sync=true;STDERR.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) 
/home/crystalmoth/RubymineProjects/wxRuby_CADaver/.idea/MainFrame.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in

  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
  from 
/home/crystalmoth/RubymineProjects/wxRuby_CADaver/.idea/MainFrame.rb:4
  from -e:1:in `load'
  from -e:1

Process finished with exit code 1

And this messag3e when I try to debug my script in rubymine:

/usr/bin/ruby -e STDOUT.sync=true;STDERR.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rdebug-ide --port 37753 -- 
/home/crystalmoth/RubymineProjects/wxRuby_CADaver/.idea/MainFrame.rb

Process finished with exit code 0

I think there's a problem in this script, see attached.

or see this attached

Or see this attached.

Looks like RubyMine doesn't use your PATH variable.
Can you try something like this:

- after installing the gem, and adding .gem to your path
(
do:
     export PATH=/home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/gems/1.8/gems:$PATH
    export PATH=/home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin:$PATH
in the terminal or add these lines to your .profile/.bashrc
)

Can you try running the MainFrame.rb directly from the command line
(that'd be `ruby MainFrame.rb`)

If that works that means you simply need to add the path to your local
gems to RubyMine settings.

Also - what OS are you using? (I'm assuming it's either Linux or OSX)

I tried those lines of path code. It didn't give me any errors, but then
I tried running it from the terminal and got this message:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
'gem_original_require: no such file to load --Wx (LoadError)
          from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
'require'
          from MainFrame.rb:4

And I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.

I've attached the custom require file and my code.

Under /usr/lib/Ruby I seem to have the folders 1.8, 1.9, 1.9.0, 1.9.1,
and gems

Could there be a conflict of different versions going on.

...and here's your problem

In the attached example you have

require 'Wx'

and it should be

require 'wx' # lowercase


Once you change it wxRuby will be imported properly, the code won't run 
though (I assume it's a part of a bigger application) - try one of the 
minimal examples from the wxRuby site ( 
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Getting_Started )


Łukasz

I tried the Minimal App with the lowercase wx and it gave me no debug 
errors but when I tried to run it it said:
