When you’ ve installed ruby on 2K, you can double-click your script file. You don’ t need to give a path by require. ---

Hi, you’ ve already installed fxruby? Then just try the tutorials. Notice the ‘require ‘fox’’ statement. Perhaps you need to change that to fox12 or fox14, according to your installed ruby version. You then can run your fox apps like common ruby scripts. Alex. ---

While we’re at it, did anyone else encounter a problem where FOX dialog windows open notably off the top left edge of the screen? I’ve had that happen with the FreeRIDE options dialog and some of the widget sample ones when I use a theme with Extra Large 120dpi fonts. David V. Still unconvinced about FOX ---

If you installed ruby with the One-Click-Installer for Windows, try using this to require the FxRuby lib: require ‘rubygems’ require\_gem ‘fxruby’ 2006/1/10, Mohsen A. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---
