Hello all! Apologies if the question is answered in some basic doc but I couldn’t find it. I have a ror app that runs in a mongrel server, everything integrated within radrails in windows. I have some custom ruby modules written in C++ which work fine when using ruby command line. However when starting the server I get an error: C:/program files/Aptana/Aptana Studio 1.2/plugins/ org.jruby\_1.1.6.8388p3/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom\_require.rb:31 in `require’: no such file to load – MyModule (MissingSourceFile) In normal windows ruby command line to make this error go away I need to 1. Tell ruby the correct load path with -I 2. Have the dll that are dependencies in the win PATH variable I have tried to do this same thing in RoR (setting ENV[‘PATH’]) but failed. Any advice? Thanks ---

Thanks a lot Fred, seems that’s the issue. I changed to a standard VM now. Still doesn’t work but for a different reason: my module and Ruby haven’t been compiled with the same compiler so they are not compatible. My module is compiled with VS2005. Is there a way to avoid having to recompile ruby/dependencies like some gems and possibly rails? Thanks everyone On Mar 9, 6:35 pm, Frederick C.
