Subject: [ruby-vpi-help][21822] problems

From: Scott Hughes
I have ruby 1.8.6, gems 0.9.2, rake 0.7.3, rcov 0.8.0.2, and
ruby-vpi 16.0.0. I'm trying to use vsim 6.2a. I am running all of
this on Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp x86_64. I have ruby and all my gems
installed in a user directory if that matters. When I cd into the
samp/counter folder and run 'rake vsim', I get the following output:
$ rake vsim
(in /users/shughes/ruby/gems/gems/ruby-vpi-16.0.0/samp/counter)
rake -f counter_rspec_runner.rake vsim
(in /users/shughes/ruby/gems/gems/ruby-vpi-16.0.0/samp/counter)

I'd appreciate any pointers you could offer to debug this.
Btw, great project! I'll be really excited when I can get it to
work, but I'm very excited about the prospect of using it now.
