require doesn't seem to search $: on Win2K

Nick Droch #1 / 7	require doesn't seem to search $: on Win2K I have a small program that tries to require "cgi". I get this error: e:\ruby\rbweb\rbweb.rb:2:in `require': No such file to load -- cgi (LoadError) from e:\ruby\rbweb\rbweb.rb:2 In the same code above the require line I did a sanity check of puts $: and got this: e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i386-cygwin e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6 e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby e/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-cygwin e/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6 . The cgi.rb file is in E:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.6 which is in load path, as far as I can tell, but the format of the paths are not Windows-ish. Can anyone help? Thanks, Nick

Wayne Blai #2 / 7	require doesn't seem to search $: on Win2K I'm running on windows 2k and require 'cgi' works fine. I get slightly different output from puts $:, though, with /cygdrive/ in front of each entry. irb(main):001:0> puts $: /cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i386-cygwin /cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6 /cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby /cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-cygwin /cygdrive/e/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6 . nil Wayne Quote: > I have a small program that tries to require "cgi".

I'm using IIS 5, and i got .rb mapped to the ruby .exe in the standard way: '{ruby bin}\ruby.exe %s %s'. When i run a little script like Nick's i get the same result, except that /cygwin/ is prefixed to all the paths in $:. Also, i can get my scripts to work in IIS properly if i do this: - open a cmd window - start IRB - execute 'require "cgi"' As long as i leave IRB running, the scripts run by IIS will work properly. weird, huh? If the solution is to dump IIS and use Apache, i can live with that... cheers, ben

I also have cygwin installed, but I don't know how IIS and ruby.exe would know anything about it, since the mapping for the .rb files just points at ruby.exe. The only way I've been able to work around it so far is to hard-code the file path "E:\\ruby\\..." in the require statement. Would anyone else like to speak up? BTW, what do the second %s give you, and how do you access it? Regards, Nick

I just upgraded today to 1.3.2 and it made things worse! Regards, Nick

I know nothing about IIS. However, does it somehow override the path seen by the applications it runs? Is it possible that when run under IIS your program is using a different Ruby interpreter, or a different set of DLLs (cygwin or whatever)? Dave
