No prob: you just need to "cd" into /opt/shoes and the file "shoes-bin" or just plain "shoes" will be in either /opt/shoes/dist or /opt/shoes/bin. Then you can run ./shoes(-bin) /path/to/file. There is one problem I have found though with Shoes running on Heron, I don't know whether it has exactly to do just with Heron, but it appears that the constant Gem::Ext is missing. _why, please help!

Thank you very much!--embarrassing to be such a newb here but I am. Not a programmer (yet) but an academic in a useless field. So once I had -all- the correct dependencies, this worked like a charm. The sample files work beautifully from dist. But then--

I was able to run the install script from the home page (i.e.: $ sudo make PREFIX=/opt/shoes VIDEO=1 install) and lo-and-behold it installed there. However, now (I'm so embarrassed) I can't get things to run from the command line. I downloaded some files from the shoebox and don't know how to get them to run.

For example, should I be able to run $ shoes othello.rb from the command line? Or do I need to set the PATH variable somehow?

Sorry to be so ignorant, but there's no way out but through, I suppose. And I'm trying to get camping to work but that's another embarrassing letter for another list-serv, I'm sure.

Best,

John
