Portable Ruby and one more question
Please support our Ruby advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases
 |
1) Is it possible to install Ruby (the compiler) onto a flashdrive and run it on another machine without adding the registry edits? Is there like a portable copy of the compiler that I can use? I need Ruby at school, but I can't install anything.
2) I think my Ruby is dead. I try to run a really simple program and Ruby hangs whenever I use gets()... For example:
Inputted in SciTE makes the command line for Ruby pop up, then it freezes, only to let me exit Ruby and continue working. I can use puts() and other commands fine. What is wrong
I NEED RUBY TO WORK!

I NEED RUBY TO WORK! Toshiba M115 ● 1.49 GB DDR-2 RAM ● 1.6 GHz Centrino Duo ● 80GB HDD ● Windows XP Media Center Edition
Hmm... I got both of them fixed, with a little work. I copied the whole directory for Ruby onto my flashdrive, and it works! And for the other, it was SciTE that was hanging it.

I think it is SciTE's output windows that hangs the input.

In C you can code our own bugs, in C++ you can inherit them.
