SUBJECT: RE: RSRuby on windows

 

I barely know anything about Windows either, but I did have to do some programming on it last fall. The error message sounds like it is probably looking for a .dll file (a shared library on Windows) for R. You may have to supply some option when building R in order to get the R DLL created. (I had to add an option to get the shared library created when I built R on Linux.) Assuming you have the R.dll (or whatever it is named) then the next issue is how it will be found. There is probably some path setting for DLLs on Windows, but if so I don't know what it is. In my programming class, I usually copied the DLL I needed to the directory I was working in. So, you might try copying the R.dll to your current directory, or to the directory with the Ruby executable (irb?) or perhaps copy it to the directory containing the Windows OS DLLs. There must be a more elegant approach; perhaps someone else might know.
