The next time I push, that should be fixed. Tomas just implemented Method#to\_proc last week. JD …there is no try Sent from my phone. Please excuse typos and txtspk. ---

Hi Jim Cool! I’ll be waiting for that one then 🙂 Any idea when you’ll push it into the trunk? Also do you know if there is a guide for building IronRuby from scratch so that I can build it and get the fix? Thanks Patrick ---

Hi Jim Thanks for that. I grabbed the sources from GitHub. For now I just grabbed a zip file as I just want to play around with IronRuby. I followed the instructions on the website and managed to build the solution (using VS2008) just fine. No errors / warnings etc. I then copied all the binaries into another folder. I also copied the cmd files from the 0.3 release into that folder. I then tried to run irake but got another error: C:\languages\ironruby\bin\>irake :0:in `require’: no such file to load – rubygems (LoadError) from C:/languages/ironruby/bin/irake:9 And when I try to run igem to install rake I get: C:\languages\ironruby\bin\>igem install rake :0:in `require’: no such file to load – rubygems (LoadError) from C:/languages/ironruby/bin/igem:8 So any idea where I went wrong? I think I did all the steps in the right order but given that it’s not working I guess I didn’t entirely get it right ☹ Thanks heaps for all your help Patrick ---

Pushed it a little while ago. To build, follow the instructions here: [http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/getting-the-sources](http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/getting-the-sources) to get sources, then here: [http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/building](http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/building) to build. If you want to contribute back to the project, you can follow the instructions here: [http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing](http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing) Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you need help.

## if you extract the 0.3 release and copy the compiled binaries without the config file over it should be fine. Alternatively you can change the content of ir.exe.config to match your config. IronRuby needs to know the paths in which it can find stuff like rubygems.rb Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto C.

An implementation of Method#to\_proc already exists in Merlin/Main/Languages/Ruby/Libs/hacks.rb, so if Libs is on your path you can just “require ‘hacks’” to make rake work.
