Standard library missing on Linux?

I've been using Crystal in OS X, installed with Homebrew. Now I'm giving it a try on Linux, but when I compile a project that includes URI from the standard library, I get:

while requiring "URI": can't find file 'URI' relative to '/home/...'

I installed according to the docs using apt-get. (I'm actually using LinuxMint if that matters.) Do I need to download the git repo as well? If so, where does Crystal expect it to be?

I downloaded a precompiled binary. I see it includes the standard library. Is there a PATH that Crystal looks for?

Solution

  • Use require "uri" in lowercase. OSX filesystem is case insensitive (by default).
