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 /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 ---

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](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. ---

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](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35) hope that helps Łukasz ---

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 `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- Wx (LoadError) 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. ---

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.

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) 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: /usr/bin/ruby -e STDOUT.sync=true;STDERR.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) /home/crystalmoth/RubymineProjects/wxRuby\_CADaver/.idea/MainFrame.rb /home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux/lib/wxruby2.so: /home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux/lib/wxruby2.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 - /home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux/lib/wxruby2.so (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `require' from /home/crystalmoth/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-linux/lib/wx.rb:12 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in`gem\_original\_require’ from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:36: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 ---

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.
