I'm having a little trouble using rio in irb ... I installed rio 0.3.4 using rubygems, ie, gem install rio, which mostly worked: Attempting local installation of 'rio' Successfully installed rio, version 0.3.4 Installing RDoc documentation for rio-0.3.4... Could not find main page RIO::Doc::SYNOPSIS Could not find main page RIO::Doc::SYNOPSIS Could not find main page RIO::Doc::SYNOPSIS Could not find main page RIO::Doc::SYNOPSIS Then I fired up irb but got the following error: irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems' => false irb(main):002:0> require 'rio' Gem::LoadError: Could not find RubyGem extensions (>= 0.6.0) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:194:in `report_activate_error' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:136:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:162:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:161:in `each' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:161:in `activate' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:23:in `require' from (irb):2 irb(main):003:0> Any help appreciated.

Rio also uses FileUtils, Tempfile, StringIO, OpenURI, Zlib, and CSV to provide similar functionality using a simple consistent interface. In addition to forwarding the interfaces provided by IO, File, and Dir to an appropriate object, Rio provides a "grande" interface that allows many common application-level I/O and file-system tasks to be expressed succinctly.
