Hi, First of all, sorry if the following shows my ignorance. I'm trying to install Ruby-Vpi 16.0.1 on Ubuntu 7.04 I think I have sucessfully installed, although it may be worthwhile pointing out to other Ubuntu installers that one has to install ruby, *and* rake *and* gem *and* rcov using apt-get or the synaptic package manager. It was not sufficient to just install ruby, gem, and then rely on gem installs, because paths are not set up. I did then install ruby-vpi using gem install, as shown in the instructions. This was OK, although if you don't install rake using apt-get, everything will fall over. So - now I'd like to run the tutorial. However, I think that I now have the same problem as before - the generate_test.rb script is not on the path anywhere, so I can't run the first part of the exercise. Presumably this will be true for all the other utilities also. How should the tools be installed? Regards, Rob MacAulay
