Folks, I’m not sure this is the best place to ask the following question, but someone might still know the answer. I currently can’t install anything on this computer (hence no ruby interpreter), I thought about getting InstantRails with which you can open a console with ruby running. I also wanted to add a new gem (wxruby2), I could install the gem correctly but when I run my code, it’ll tell me: no such file to load – wxruby2 (LoadError) Anyone has an idea how I can install (and use) new gems with InstantRails? Cheers ---

perhaps you need require ‘wxruby2’ in your code? or maybe require ‘rubygems’ require ‘wxruby2’ On Mar 23, 1:08 am, Pierre P. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) I have the “require” in my code. I somehow imagine that it’s the console which doesn’t look it the correct path, but I don’t really know how to fix that one :s ---

Maybe when its launching that ruby console it’s somehow not taking care of the gems, but I wouldn’t see why…
