Iirb broken?

Ruby IronRuby

Hi

As soon as I want to do something slightly more useful with iirb it
won’t
work
When I execute

iirb

it’s not being very helpful at all

on mono:
IronRuby.Libraries:0:in GetExecutable': infocmp -C (Errno::ENOENT) from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in CreateProcess’
from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in CreateProcess' from :0:in ``' from /usr/local/cloudslide/ironruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbreadline.rb:1796:in get_term_capabilities’
… more stuff in trace …

on windows:

  • C:\dev\caricature
    (master) » iirb
    IronRuby.Libraries:0:in GetExecutable': stty size (Errno::ENOENT) from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in CreateProcess’
    from IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `CreateProcess’
    from :0:in ``’
    … more stuff in trace …

unfortunately the flag -r doesn’t seem to work either because if I
execute

ir -r lib/caricature
the constant Caricature is undefined while it should have been loaded.

What I want to get working is the following script:

#!/usr/bin/env ir
puts “Loading the caricature gem…”
iirb -r irb/completion -r rubygems -r lib/caricature --simple-prompt
