Hi, I installed ‘hpricot’ and ‘wx’ (wxruby) libraries with gem command and when I try to start a program which uses those two libraries I get ‘require - no such file to load - hpricot (or wx)’. I have ruby 1.9.0. developer version installed on Windows. What is the problem here ? Thanks. ---

This program worked before but I uninstalled and then installed ruby 1.8.6 few times and now I have ruby 1.9.0. developer version and it still doesn’t work. When I was installing those two gems it didn’t ask me which version to install (numbered list) like it did before. Maybe this tells something where the problem might be. ---

Then the Ruby version you are launching doesn’t have the gems installed. Find out which Ruby interpreter launches, and install the gems for it. Also: Newer RubyGems versions detect your platform automagically. (And AFAIK, Ruby 1.9 includes RubyGems as part of the STDLIB.) * * * Phillip G.
