The "no such file to load -- debug2" error can be solved by copying the 3 files debug2.rb, rde_extend.rb, and rde.dll from the RDE distribution to your <wherever Ruby is installed>/lib/ruby/1.8 directory. I don't know if the RDE debugger has been updated to work with Ruby 1.8, which I think is the cause of the mswin32-ruby16.dll problems. For debugging with 1.8 on Windows I use ArachnoRuby: http://www.ruby-ide.com/arachno_ruby.php Wayne Vucenic No Bugs Software "Ruby and C++ Contract Programming in Silicon Valley" Monday, October 18, 2004, 8:26:18 PM, you wrote: Nope, go to tool ->> options and set the ruby Nope, go to tool ->> path.
