I'm trying to get a standalone distribution working (one with the MacRuby framework embedded in the app). I've followed the instructions in the tutorial http://www.macruby.com/documentation/tutorial.html and also looked at the discussion in ticket 281, macruby-devel at http://bit.ly/dkKyXT, and carlo.log http://bit.ly/5SdxCq At this point, the app does nothing but pop up "hello world" (using Cocoa directly rather than via hotcocoa). It fails with this message in the console: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError) ubygems.rb *is* present in the path that rb_main.rb sets, but the error happens before rb_main.rb is entered. I've tried using install_name_tool in various ways, but it never changes anything. Questions: 1. Is the LoadError caused by something else entirely? 2. Should I need to use install_name_tool with recent nightlies or is macruby_deploy all I should need? 3. Any ideas about how to make it work? ----- Brian Marick, independent consultant Mostly on agile methods with a testing slant Author of /Programming Cocoa with Ruby/ www.exampler.com, www.exampler.com/blog, www.twitter.com/marick
