Hi Bob,

Glad you found the files of some use.

Feel free to mail me the file, I'll be happy to host it in my repository. IRB will be a nice addition.

Yep, I think the Hildon bindings are great too. Tom's done some really good work on them.

I have these files on my repository and a couple of other ruby bindings that I think were downloaded from maemo.rubyx.co.uk before it went down..

Repository details - address: http://gplsystems.com/apt - components: main

There are ruby1.8-xml and ruby1.8-sdl that I didnt see hosted anywhere else, maybe someone will find those useful.

I installed ruby1.8.6
http://www.elkins.org/packages/binary/

but, when I want to run my application I have :
ruby rs_server.rb
Error: no such file to load -- socket

Where is the problem?

Socket seems OK for me using the package from my own repository:

~ $ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'socket'
=> true

yeah cool it works
But, I have another problem :s
Error: no such file to load -- readline
I didn't find on the forum if a package of libreadline-ruby exits :s

Thanks Sparkman for maintaining your repo and for the packages.

I installed them in the order Jags posted (also, thanks Jags) and it works just like that, with the exception of readline.

I've found a website which has vague-ish instructions on getting readline working with ruby. It says to compile nearly everything on the device, but if it works it works. I have yet to try it out myself but I'm thinking I'm going to have to, since I've just recently flashed the thing anyway I dont have much to lose.
