Hello Laurent,

Here's a curious story.  This afternoon I watched you and Rich Kilmer at RubyConf (very interesting for all that you promised) and was impressed by the macirb app.  I tried to build it, but macrake failed.  Curiously, this must have given a shock to the heart of my shell, because now hotcocoa loads just fine.  Fortuitous perhaps, but sadly, not a learning experience.

Since you asked, here's my environment anyway.

Thanks again to all,

Bob Schaaf

PS Let's hope the fix lasts.

Hi Robert,

Could you print all environment variables from your shell's instance?

$ env

FYI, the Ruby path ($:) has nothing to do with the Mac OS X framework path.

Josh,

Disk Utility shows only "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".  I tried "framework 'Cocoa'", but still no bliss.

Then I tried building the examples.  Bingo!  Everything worked.

This inspired me to try running macruby and macirb from my postgres account.  Once again, success.

The question now is, what's going on with my shell's interaction with macruby?  Why can't the path to '/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework' be resolved, if that's the problem?

Anyone have suggestions for this pathological situation?

Bob,

Out of curiosity, does the machine that's giving you trouble have a case-sensitive HFS+ filesystem? Just a shot in the dark, but I've had case-sensitivity related issues with Ruby 'require's in the past...

Hmmm,

I spoke too soon.  I just loaded MacRuby into a clean environment on another machine, and /System/Library/Frameworks/  is not in $: and require 'hotcocoa' works just fine.

Back to the drawing board.

Hello all (again),

I may have found the root of the problem.  If so, I need a fix.

Laurent's hint, 'NSBundle.bundleWithPath('/System/Library/Frameworks/ Cocoa.framework').load' succeeds,. Tim Rand's pointing out the $: variable was a big help, and here's the result:

>> $:.each {|sp| puts sp + "\n"}

It looks like /System/Library/Frameworks/  is not in my search path.  The questions are why not? how do I remedy this? and will doing so make it work?

Even more thanks,

Bob Schaaf
