Hello,

I’m stuck in the begining. Could someone point me to what I’ve to do  
be able to run this wsdl2ruby.rb script?

It seems that my system lacks a proper script to invoke the generator  
provided by wsdl2ruby. I have this file

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/soap/wsdl2ruby.rb

but there is nothing in that file that would actually be executed, or  
at least parse the parameters given on the command line.

Clueless so far  
phil

Ok,

maybe I should have checked this last probable answer before I  
wrote to the list. The script in question comes with soap4r.

But why do I need to install soap4r if ruby comes with a soap and a  
wsdl library that seem to have everything except a script to start the  
generation? This is confusing.
