Does the IronRuby binary distribution have any dependencies on the MRI distribution? If I require a standard Ruby library from IronRuby, I get an error that there is “no such file to load”. I unzipped the binary distribution to the root of the C drive. I then added C:\IronRuby\bin to my system PATH variable. Now I can open a command prompt and start ir. I can require .net libraries - all works. However, if I try to require a standard ruby library, I get an error (see text below.) > > > require ‘net/http’IronRuby.Libraries:0:in `require': no such file to load -- net/http (LoadError) from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `UpdateAndExecute’ from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `Update3' from :0 from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `InvokeTarget’ from Microsoft.Scripting.Core:0:in `Run’ Thanks Mark > **[Re.Mark](https://remark.wordpress.com)** > > My Life As A Blog ---

Hi Mark, try running the console with something like: ir -I ‘C:\tools\ironruby\libs;C:\tools\ruby\lib\ruby\site\_ruby\1.8;C:\tools\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8’ of course the paths need to be adapted to how they are on your computer.
