Problem with ironruby on mono

Ruby IronRuby

Hi all,
I’ve successfully compiled (with rake compile mono=1) IronRuby
under Linux with Mono but whe I try to execute some code I get
a strange behaviour, for example:

$ mono rbx.exe
0.1
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

a = 1
=> 1
puts a
unknown: undefined local variable or method a' for main:Object (NoMethodError) b = a + 1 unknown: undefined local variable or method a’ for main:Object
(NoMethodError)
a.class
unknown: undefined local variable or method `a’ for main:Object
(NoMethodError)

and so on…
where’s the problem?

some info:
$ mono -V
Mono JIT compiler version 1.9 (/trunk/ r95320)
Copyright (C) 2002-2007 Novell, Inc and Contributors.
www.mono-project.com
TLS: __thread
GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC)
SIGSEGV: altstack
Notifications: epoll
Architecture: x86
Disabled: none

$ mono rbx.exe -V
IronRuby 0.1 on .NET 2.0.0.0

TIA,
ras

This is a known IronRuby problem and unrelated to Mono.

To be specific, local variables are not supported interactively, use
global or instance variables. Really need to get that disclaimer
compiled in…
