Hello all.
As a PHP developer, I recently decided to get to know ruby, and
wanted, as a beginning, to create a small ruby gmail client, like the
python one.
Working under Ubuntu 6.10, I installed ruby 1.8 via apt-get, and then
RubyGems myself.
After beeing able to retrieve the XML atom feed from Gmail, I wanted
to parse the XML file.
I didn't want to use Rexml when I saw its performances.
Thus I installed libxml-ruby via the command: "gem install -r libxml-ruby".
And now that I want to use it, here's what I get:
-- Snippet --
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-0.3.8.4/lib/xml/libxml.rb:5:
uninitialized constant XML
(NameError)
from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
from ./gmail-atom.rb:6
-- End Snippet --
Here's my little bit of code :
-- Snippet --
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'open-uri'
require 'xml/libxml_so' # I tried w/ and w/o it...
require 'xml/libxml'
open("https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom";,
:http_basic_authentication => ['login', 'passwd']
) do |content|
feed = content.read
xmlfeed = XML::Parser.string(feed).parse
xmlroot = xmlfeed.root
p xmlroot.class
p xmlroot.methods.sort
end
-- End Snippet --
The matter is that xml/libxml doesn't seem to load libxml_so.so which
is where the XML module is defined...
Downloading the gem, or the source and building it myself does the same thing.
And oh, I tried installing libxml via apt-get, buth it's the 3.4
version, and without, for instance, the "each" or "first_child"
methods...
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!
