DLL load path

Ruby
1

Hi all.

The strange question: I need modify path, where .dll’s would be looked
for
(from ruby script).

For ex.

require ‘raspell’ #bang! 'aspell.dll could’nt be found

I need something like

setenv(‘PATH’, getenv(‘PATH’) + ‘’)

but also I want PATH system variable not be changed after my script is
stopped…

I think question is dumb, but really don’t know, where to look for
answer.
And again, sorry for my poor English.

Thanks.

Victor.

Don’t worry about it, Ruby will clean up after itself.

Cheers,

Hmmm… I think it would only affect Ruby modules, not Windows dll’s

My example was not clear. It meant:

require ‘raspell’ => load raspell.so (ruby module), which would try to
load
aspell.dll (plain C dll). And it would look for aspell.dll only in
and system PATH, not ruby’s $LOAD_PATH, IMO.

Thanks, Dave! It’s just what I’ve need.
BTW, I must do RTFM :slight_smile:
