Howdy -
I'm making a a GUI for a ruby program that I've written which uses
the GNU Scientific Libraries (GSL) with ruby-gsl bindings.
Normally, I am able to get acces to the GSL and bindings by doing
require "gsl"
When I try to include this in a Shoes.app block, I get "no such
file to load -- gsl". Does anyone know how I would get this to work
properly?
Thanks
Chris
You can either do...
Shoes.setup do
gem 'gsl'
end
...which will download and install the gem, or you can take the
approach of putting it your project, and requiring it from there.
I've actually got into the habit of unpacking all of the gems my
programs depend on and put it into a /vendor directory within my
project.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches.

It doesn't look like there is a gem for gsl. I'm guessing that there
are native extensions to compile involved, which I haven't had to
face directly yet. I'd guess putting the library for all the target
platforms directly in your project as I previously mentioned, and
them requiring the correct one based on RUBY_PLATFORM might be the
best approach.
