Pretty new to ruby and trying to install Builder but not having much luck. If I try to install it via the RubyGems Package Manager I get the problem shown in the below image. Basically it says it installs, but gives an error for installing the ri documentation. If I try to require builder after this I get an error saying there is no such file to load. Not really sure what to do to get around this problem, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Marc [http://rubyforge.org/projects/builder/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/builder/) [http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/982/errormessageh.png](http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/982/errormessageh.png) ---

Thanks a ton for the tips. However, despite it saying builder is installed I still get the same issue when I try to require builder. No idea what I’m doing wrong. The error is as follows: C:/Ruby/programs/xmltest.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load – builder (LoadError) from C:/Ruby/programs/xmltest.rb:1 ---

Find Preferences, and turn something like Quick Edit on. Save the Preference to leave it turned on. Then drag-select that text. Programmers must do this all the time, and it should not be hard! Tip 2: Use Console2! [Console download | SourceForge.net](http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/) Tip 3: You already have Builder - just start using it. The error message is about its ‘ri’ entry, which is obsolete technology for people without ubiquitous WiFi access to Google. ---

I’ll suggest not set RUBYOPT at all and instead use ‘require “rubygems”’ in your script prior requiring builder. The new One-Click Installer does not set RUBYOPT at all, since it only has proven to put more differences between Linux and Windows users than help out new comers. ---

If you installed OCI ruby properly, it must be “-rubygems”. If it is not “-rubygems”, you can set it by “set RUBYOPT=-rubygems”. Or insert "require ‘rubygems’ " before require ‘builder’ will work for you. Regards, Park H.
