Hey Rubyists,

I’m trying to use the RubyCocoa framework, but I am getting a  
LoadError:

`require’: no such file to load – osx/cocoa (LoadError)

RubyCocoa is installed, and _all_ the sample applications work  
perfectly. Even when I include the correct path (/Library/Frameworks/  
RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/) I get an even better error:

/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/  
oc\_import.rb:14: warning: already initialized constant FRAMEWORK\_PATHS  
/Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/osx/objc/  
oc\_import.rb:19: warning: already initialized constant SIGN\_PATHS

from /Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework/Resources/ruby/  
osx/cocoa.rb:8  
from (irb):4:in `require’  
from (irb):4

Here is my require code:

require ‘osx/cocoa’  
include OSX  
OSX.require\_framework ‘AddressBook’

Any Idea on what my problem is? I’m sure it’s just something silly I  
have missed. Thanks in advance,
