Hi Ivan, It is a very good documentation of what we have now. I have been playing with Ironruby and becon couldn’t make it work. I am going to give it a try with your suggestion.

Yep, igem install doesn’t work currently, Tomas said he’d look at it. In the meantime: · Add c:\path\to\ironruby\Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Scripts\Bin to your PATH · Point rubygems at c:\path\to\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\gems (rather than ironruby\gems) by changing c:\path\to\ruby1.8.6\lib\ruby\site\_ruby\1.8\rubygems\defaults.rb#15 to: File.join ConfigMap[:libdir], ‘ruby’, ‘gems’, Then “igem list --local” will show the same gems that “gem list --local” sees. So for now, install gems with “gem”, but you can then use them from IronRuby. ~js From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Unnikrishnan Nair Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 5:50 AM To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] test .net code with ruby BDD libraries Hi Ivan, It is a very good documentation of what we have now.
