Hi, I’ve get some problem… When I use the SDL model in my application, RDE showed the following message… D:/MinGW/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require\_\_’: no such file to load – sdl.so (LoadError) How can I solve this problem? Greetings:) ---

Well, first questions first - do you have SDL and the Ruby binding installed at all? Also, as you’re using the MinGW version of ruby: Is your SDL binding correctly installed? If you compiled it yourself, probably so, but if you’re using a gem with a prebuilt binary, it might have ended up in a directory Ruby isn’t expecting it. Look for directories called “i386-mingw”, and “i386-msvcrt”, and which one the file sdl.so is in. David V.
