Why do I get an error while compiling IronRuby in Ruby 1.8.7?


I can't seem to compile ironruby in ruby 1.8.7. I always get this error:

no such file to load -- windows/path

Does this mean that ironruby is not compatible with ruby 1.8.7?


Solution

  • It looks like the gem windows-pr is required before the pathname2 stuff succeeds. I did a gem install windows-pr in my Ruby 1.8.7 install and then was successfully able to run rake --tasks in IronRuby (it previously failed with the same "no such file to load" error).
