Doesn't work on Mac OS X Lion

[samnang]

I try to use homebrew to follow the instruction from https://github.com/ashbb/green_shoes/wiki/Building-Green-Shoes-on-OSX. But it doesn't work when I run Shoes.show_manual 'English'. I get the following error

LoadError: no such file to load -- /Users/samnang/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@dev/gems/green_shoes-1.0.273/lib/ext/hpricot/hpricot_scan

Same on Ubuntu, Ruby 1.9.2

I think this is because the included version of Hpricot is for windows only.

Here is a workaround:

• Install Hpricot gem install hpricot
• Start IRB and be sure to require Hpricot first: require 'hpricot'
• Then require Green Shoes require 'green_shoes'
• Then you will be able to show the manual: Shoes.show_manual 'English'

Just tried on Fedora 15, Ruby 1.9.2-p290, worked fine.

@ashbb,

Since green shoes is a gem, it would make sense to just have Hpricot as a dependency rather than include it. Would also be worth looking at swopping with Nokogiri

@i5m It indeed works as you describe here as well (Though I didn't need to do the hpricot install, even in this gemset).

[atomicules]

@kotp so you must have already had Hpricot installed?

[kotp]

Yeah, either from my global RVM gemset or the default. I have yet to track it down. Obviously it is installed somewhere/sometime.

Hi all,

The reason that I include Hpricot binary library files is because gem install hpricot doesn't work on Windows (can't make .so files without C compiler).

But think over again, Green Shoes manual is just one of the Green Shoes apps. So, it may be better to separate it from the green_shoes gem itself. It many be better to make a new gem, e.g. green_shoes_manual gem, and replace Hpricot to Nokogiri.

I think the manual may be important enough to 'just run' though. You can conditionally require 'hpricot' or 'hpricot_scan' based on the active OS.

I've never had any problems with gem install hpricot on Windows as long as using the Ruby Installer versions of Ruby and their DevKit.
