Hi,

I am using Windows and I followed the instructions to install Ruby  
(installed Ruby 1.93 and Glade). When  
I try to start it by entering “vr” in command prompt with Ruby I the  
following errors :

C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/vrlib-1.0.12/lib/GladeGUI.rb:154:in  
`add_from_file': Failed to open file './glade/VR_Main.glade': No such file or directory(GLib::FileError) from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/vrlib-1.0.12/lib/GladeGUI.rb:15 4:in`load\_glade’  
from  
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/vrlib-1.0.12/lib/GladeGUI.rb:37  
7:in `show' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/visualruby-1.0.12/vr:38:in`\<to  
p (required)\>’  
from C:/Ruby193/bin/vr:23:in `load' from C:/Ruby193/bin/vr:23:in`’

Do you have an idea why I can’t start Visual Ruby?

Thank you in advance !

Hi Jeremy:

This problem is fixed in version 1.0.13. Just type:

$gem install visualruby

Please give me more feedback. I appreciate your help.
