I add the using windows because I was to extend pcap ruby to windows (one day), and it is what i currently have installed. I read the pickaxe book and the example does not work for me. I think my problem with pickaxe example is the location of my file in the ruby dir. I was getting and error with the value statment so i removed all the code excpet the return self in the functions. and i get c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in `require__': C:\ruby\lib\ruby\Test.rb:7: void value expression (SyntaxError) return self; ^ C:\ruby\lib\ruby\Test.rb:7: odd number list for Hash return self; ^ C:\ruby\lib\ruby\Test.rb:7: syntax error return self; ^ C:\ruby\lib\ruby\Test.rb:8: syntax error from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in `require' from testtest.rb:1 I read this http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/11/18/extending_ruby.html and it is in linux, make does not work. Thank you for your time. Becker ------ art_10613_18890234.1137804502240--
