Igem not working

Ruby IronRuby
1

When I execute igem install rake I get the following error:

C:\DevTools\IronRuby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Scripts\bin>irake.bat
‘“C:\DevTools\IronRuby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Scripts\bin\ir.exe”’
is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Any ideas?

IronRuby configuration is extremely weird!!!

And here is my environment variables:

c:\ruby\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\DevTools\IronRuby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\bin\Debug;C:\DevTools\IronRuby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\Languages\lib\ironruby\gems\1.8\bin;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\binn;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\DTS\Binn;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies;c:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn;c:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn;C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\Bin

My advice to you is: do not build from source or use the Dev env for
ironruby. Because ironruby config is really easy.

You have 2 paths for ironruby. Is your config correct? If we ever meet
I’ll walk you through all the files and how it works. Maybe the MVP
summit?

Hi,

Thanks! I got it working using Dev.bat.

It will my pleasure to meet you at the MVP Summit :slight_smile: Maybe we can record
a Podcast about IronRuby.

Thanks,
Azam

That’s fine but my point is that if you just want to just use ironruby
do NOT get the sources… they haven’t been updated in a while and the
1.0 RC1 version is probably very close to what you get with building
from source but without the added hassle and changed gems location.
There is no obvious win anymore when you build from source.

From the types of questions you ask I think that you never had a MS-DOS
based pc or haven’t done much batch scripting in your life, which is
perfectly fine of course. Using the dev.bat file will change a bunch of
environment variables which you don’t need at all.
Like Jim said earlier I think it’s better if you just stick to released
versions of IronRuby so you don’t have these kinds of surprises, just
make sure you install it in a path without spaces or that requires
elevated privileges (like say program files).

Sure a podcast sounds like a plan :).
Will there be anybody from the IronRuby team attending the mvp summit
too?

That’s a shame. Will this change at some point? I suppose it really
doesn’t
matter when all you want to do is use IronRuby. Are there any build
options
to set the gems location?

That’s fantastic news! Btw, if you compile with the ‘-S’ option, can you
move the binaries and work directly with regular gems? I don’t have my
laptop with me, so I can’t try that myself, atm.

sure you can change the GEM_PATH

What I tend to do is just build from source and copy the binaries over
the
ironruby install. Then I have to edit the .config files so it will work
with
unsigned assemblies.

There was a push yesterday and now there is a huge win. An RSpec batch
now
takes less than half the time it did before. At this point ironruby is
very
usable and I would take an app in production with it.
