Hi

I was wishing to get an IDE to use with ruby, after trying eclipse  
(which appears to be good but complicated) I thought about using  
Mondrian. After downloading it for my Ubuntu I went ahead to try install  
it. After many attempts to do this (building the required libs etc) I  
have come up against a problem that I as of yet can not seem to solve

adrianr@geko80:~$ irb  
irb(main):001:0\> require ‘fox16’  
LoadError: libFOX-1.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file  
or directory - /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/fox16.so  
from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/i486-linux/fox16.so  
from (irb):1  
irb(main):002:0\>

Having checked whether this lib is there (it is),what should I do!! I  
have run out of ideas on how to move further

The answer to this question can be found in the FXRuby U.'s Guide.

I think vim is the best editor… just set the syntax highlighting etc  
for  
ruby…
