Sorry for the noob level problem - but I’m trying to run igem.bat and I’m getting the following: C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ironruby/thread.rb:16:in `load_assembly': Specified type IronRuby.StandardLibrar y.Threading.ThreadingLibraryInitializer is not a subclass of IronRuby.Builtins.LibraryInitializer (LoadError) from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ironruby/thread.rb:16 from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:in`require’ from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:29:in `require' from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:16 from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:in`require’ from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/Lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:29:in `require’ from C:/Program Files (x86)/IronRuby 1.1/bin/gem:9 I’ve got the 1.1.2 build, which I removed and reinstalled just in case.

This happens when I run igem.bat from the …/IronRuby1.1/bin directory, which is the same as running “ir gem” or “ir64 gem” - all get the same exception. Thanks for the reply. Also thanks for taking the time to write Unleashed - great work! -e * * * Eric F.

Thanks 🙂 Try running “ir -S gem”. Does it work? Shay. ---

I don’t really have an idea. Try to add more info - - Which IronRuby version? - Have you installed it using the installer or are you building and running the code directly? - Is it the first time you’ve tried using rubygems with IronRuby? Maybe try to install the new version 1.1.3 and see if it fixes the problem ( [http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/60511](http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases/view/60511)) Shay. ---

Same exception with “ir -S gem”. I’ve also tried it with full privs, and I added “…Lib\ruby\1.9.1\rubygems” to the path and and still no go. If you have an idea about what’s happening or how I might try to debug the problem, let me know.
