Hi everyone,

I'm setting up my RUBYLIB variables for use with custom libraries I've
created.  I have the following working properly:

C:/lib/wxruby/lib [this points to the custom library path I have set]

Everything is verified with ruby -e "puts $:" ..

The first module I created is a module called public_instance_methods.rb

Location:  C:/lib/wxruby/lib/public_instance_methods.rb

module PublicInstanceMethods

  # This method sets the default icon for the given window or frame
  def set_icon_file(file)
    icon_file = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),"..","icons",file)
    set_icon Wx::Icon.new(icon_file, Wx::BITMAP_TYPE_ICO)
  end

end

My default working project directory is:

E:\project\lib\
"" \core
"" \icons
"" \images

In E:\project\lib\core\main.rb I have..

require 'public_instance_methods'
include PublicInstanceMethods

class GuiMain < XrcFrameMain
  def initialize
    super()

    set_icon_file("test.ico")

  end
end

Which results into an error saying:

Icon file does not exist:
  C:/lib/wxruby/lib/../icons/kirin.ico (ArgumentError)

.. which means that it's looking in the lib directory of the included
module and not the working directory of the application.  How should I
set this method up so that it includes the right path to the ico file?
