load_assembly 'IronRuby.Libraries', 'IronRuby.StandardLibrary.StringIO'
There are two library paths in IronRuby. One is the redistribution of most of
the Ruby Standard library. This is the
C:\ironruby\ironruby\Merlin\External.LCA_RESTRICTED\Languages\Ruby\redist-libs\ruby\1.8
folder. The other is IronRuby specific files to load C-based standard
libraries (such as stringio.rb) and stub files to make .NET specific assemblies
easier to load (such as System.Windows.Forms.rb).
For me, the following works from the IronRuby console. Can you send me the
output of it when you try to run it from ir.exe?
C:\vsl\m1\Merlin\Main\Bin\Debug
[26] > ir.exe
